Ski & Snowboard Lessons

We are taking this opportunity to refine and develop an even better experience for our guests looking to take a lesson. At Mt. Rose, safety has always been a priority for both our guests and our staff, so we are adapting the new recommended best practices and safety measures across all of our lesson packages and streamlining the way we handle lessons. Many of the changes that are underway are meant to limit the number of close interactions with guests while increasing the one on one teaching opportunities.

Skiing & Snowboarding is a low-risk outdoor recreation that can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life. Mt. Rose provides approximately 1,200 acres of fresh air, skiable terrain. Masks, goggles, gloves, and helmets are standard equipment with the sport, and skiers and snowboarders have always respected the long-standing etiquette of giving people their space. Our vision for the future of our lessons will continue to provide a safe and exciting experience for all of our guests and we look forward to announcing our plans in the near future.

Please Note: Mt. Rose will require face coverings that align with CDC recommendations in all indoor areas, lift queues while riding lift chairs, and in ski and snowboard lessons. We ask that all guests and staff respect the social distancing measures and face-covering requirements while visiting Mt. Rose to ensure that we stay safe, and stay open.
