Bar/Restaurant/Junkyard FOR SALE

5.7 Million Dollars. How can you go wrong? Sure at first glance you might think this 14 acres on the Mt. Rose Hwy is overpriced, but hey, Look What Else You Get! Besides the acreage you'll receive an "interesting" lodge with a VERY open floor plan full of antiques with floor to ceiling views on the West side of the building, a full bar, pool table, guest rooms and memorabilia like a 50 unit typewriter collection coupled with one of the world's largest Lunchbox Collections (including the rarest of finds... a Gilligan's Island lunchbox signed by Bob Denver himself. The lodge has a rich history of rock legends playing to big crowds including Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Grateful Dead and many others. But hey, Look What Else You Get: The grounds contain a large antique tractor collection as well as other industrial bric-a-brac that would earn any junk yard dog's envy. All told there are at minimum forty 18 wheeler truckloads of difficult to describe articles that go along with this iconic property including, but not limited to: 285 lbs of rusty nails, 28 tractors in various states of decomposition, 92 wagon and other wheels, 72 doll heads which come in their own stained bathtub, 91 lbs of old Buffalo Burgers that taint exactly "fresh", 19 ice chests with broken hinges, 26 water logged mattresses of ill repute, 950 square feet of wet carpet, four gas pumps, two Cigar Store Injuns, 57 old and stained non-working musical instruments, 45 lbs of "moist" cotton balls, a half case of Cream de Menthe and... well, Look Theres More, much much more where that came from. If you love JUNK and have a penchant for broken dreams and letting "sleeping dogs lie" the Reindeer Lodge is for you!

Or alternatively, we can wish that Jeremy Renner buys it. Levels it with a D-9. Hauls out the 30 years of brokenness, roofless sheds, trash and crap and rebuilds the lodge to fit the times with a nice bar/restaurant combo for post skiing bliss. C'mon Mr. Renner, we are all counting on you to talk him down three mill and open up something to be proud of. Its either that or the Ron West Flaming Arrow Plan, right?

Happy Winter Solstice Everyone. Slide was down with winds today but the Rose side was skiing quite nice. Forecast is for a little snow and much colder temps. Should be good skiing headed our way.

Happy Winter Solstice,

Sven

The Season Winds Down with a Bang & a Whimper...

Image
Lots of BBQ's, beer wagons and costumed patrons led to a great last day of the season at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe. Many closing days have been less than extraordinary with frozen crust, snow or high winds. Today was the exeption. Although there was some wind at the top it didn't amount to much and the snow softened quickly with temps in the 50's. The Chutes almost didn't open. Understaffed, the lift department just didn't have enough liftees... in stepped Mikyla (pictured below) a ski patrol rookie who volunteered to run The Chuter Unload... thanks to Patrol for making The Chutes happen the last day. They were absolutely sublime with all gates East of El Cap open. One could also downhill traverse over to El Cap which was the best I've seen it sans pow in many years. Pic is of Naia Selby ripping down it like it was a groomer. I can say with confidence The Chutes were absolutely stunning today and so forgiving that even I felt pretty good dancing with gravity.

The Rose Legion of Honor (Part 1)

There are those that do their job and then there are those who rise above their position description and become an exceptional employee and host to the area. Come along and meet some of the exceptional staff who have proven themselves once more as those that go above and beyond and make Mt. Rose Ski Area a special place. Some of these folks are up front who you see all the time while others are in the background working to make things better behind the scenes every day and night. Lets start with Ted... he has been grooming for years and his experience and stoke to provide perfect cord for the public makes him our number one choice from the grooming department Next up is Darja from the Food and Beverage Department. Darja is one of the most positive and wonderful people one could ever meet in the lodge. If you haven't met her yet, this last weekend is the time. Make it your mission. She can probably be found cashiering. She is seen here with our very own 98 year old Raymond Josep

The Chutes... 45 days on

Image
On Saturday a kid in the Skytavern Junior Ski Program took the Oblivion Express into a tree on the Cut Throat run in the The Chutes at the Mt. Rose Ski Area. He ended up in the ICU but is expected to fully recover.  The results could have been much worse.  Most of us are tired of seeing patrol rescues, ambulances and Careflight rides resulting from skiing or boarding and then losing control in The Chutes the last five weeks. This post addresses where we currently are in The Chutes in an effort to minimize future accidents and point out that you are putting more than yourself at risk when you ski beyond our ability.  Occasionally I get asked "Why are The Chutes still closed?" or, less occasionally, "Why are The Chutes still open?". My stock answer is something about snow safety, patroller safety, the time it takes to open complex terrain or the neglected skill of skiing within one's ability etc. And I only hear the question a 10,000th of the times patrol hears it
