A favorite of Reno residents, it is at a high elevation which sometimes means it has better snow late in the season. I prefer Diamond Peak, but Rose is nice too.

This is a great place for sledding along the side of the Mount Rose Highway. There are steep areas, be careful. There are also trailheads for hiking and mountain biking. A great downhill mountain bike ride starts here and finishes at the Tunnel Creek Cafe. There is a one way shuttle for under $20 that can return you to the meadows. It services this location every other day. Google Flume Trail Bike.

This is my favorite concert venue. It's pretty small so there aren't any bad seats. Here I've seen John Cougar Mellancamp, Aerosmith, Stevie Wonder, Steve Miller Band, Elton John, and Earth, Wind & Fire.

The second of the two private beaches you get access to as my guest. You have to stop by the Recreation Center will call desk to pick up the tickets I'll arrange for you. Then you go to the beach kiosk to pay the daily fee ($15 for adults, $6 for kids 6-17, kids 5 and under free). This beach does not have pool, but it's better for wading in the lake in bare feet (Burnt Cedar Beach's wading area is rocky). Also, you can launch a boat here if you pay the $18 fee and get the inspection done offsite (google that, it's a bit of a pain but worth it if you have a boat).
