There are NO Sledding, tubing, or snow-play areas at the ski resort. Mt. Rose is strictly a skiing and snowboarding resort. The closest sledding area is located at “Tahoe Meadows” just over the highway summit from the ski resort (3 miles south of Mt. Rose). Look for the vehicles parked on the side of the road. This is simply an open field where you can bring your snow toys.
