Even when Reno doesn't get a huge amount of winter snow, this area near the Mount Rose Summit has some of the best snow play in the area. Located on the Mount Rose Highway/Highway 431 on the way to North Lake Tahoe, this area is known for its summer access to the Tahoe Rim Trail as well as some great snowshoe, cross country skiing and sledding spots. The area is free and you can find a variety of sled runs for beginner and intermediate tubers. Follow snow trails that lead into the forest or up into the hills with excellent views of blue Lake Tahoe. There are several small parking areas and two bathrooms. One by the Tahoe Rim Trail trailhead and another by the Mount Rose trailhead.
