Reno continues to draw in people from all over the world, especially as our city develops, and as we see companies open their doors. The Biggest Little City becomes a beacon to big businesses, small startups, and entrepreneurs at heart, but the move to a new city can be daunting. That’s why we’ve put together this checklist of things to do, places to visit, and experiences to make you feel like a Renoite in no time.

  1. Kayak the Truckee River Whitewater Park – Or if kayaking isn’t your thing, grab your floaties and go tubing along the Truckee River!
  2. Try out some of the local breweries and distilleries in the area – We recommend checking out 10 Torr Distilling and Brewing, Brasserie Saint James Brewing, and The Depot Craft Brewery Distillery.
  3. Mountain bike the Flume Trail.
  4. Participate in a Wine Walk.
  5. Have a lazy day in North Lake TahoeBonsai Rock, Sand Harbor, and Chimney Beach are great destination spots.
  6. Watch the sunrise over Emerald Bay.
  7. Participate in a bar crawl.
  8. Have a ski/snowboard day, or at least sip some cocoa in a lodge – There are tons of resorts in the area including Donner Ski Ranch, Squaw Valley, and Mt. Rose.
  9. Have a museum day and learn about the history of some amazing artifacts – Check out the National Automobile Museum, The Discovery, Nevada State Museum, and the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
  10. Soak in some of the most beautiful and relaxing hot springs in the world.
  11. Take a selfie under the Reno arch.
  12. Go coffee tasting and find your favorite local spot – There’s a reason Reno has become one of the biggest coffee cultures in the west. Hub Coffee Roasters, Lighthouse Coffee, and Old World Coffee Lab are great places to start.

Preparing for Tahoe Ski Season

Preparing for the Tahoe Ski Season

Preparing for Tahoe Ski Season

The first day of fall may have just passed, but with some of the first flurries being seen at Mt. Rose, people are already talking about the upcoming ski season. After receiving 493 inches at Mt. Rose and 623 inches of snow at Sugar Bowl Resort during the 2018 – 2019 season, it’s easy to see why there would be rumblings and rumors of what the 2019 – 2020 season holds for skiers and snowboarders alike. For a look at when the resorts around the area will be opening up for the season, check out the list below:

 

Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe – October 25
As Reno’s go-to resort, Mt. Rose has put in a ton of money into bettering their ticketing system as well as their snow machines. $1.5 million was invested in on-mountain improvements, so check them out for yourself.

 

Boreal Mountain – November 8
Boreal has made a ton of updates that will allow them to offer hands-free ticketing and make checking in and getting on the lifts easier than ever. If you’re ever up near Donner Summit, be sure to check out these slopes!

 

Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows – November 15
Time is of the essence, which is why Squaw Valley put in a $10 million Treeline Cirque chairlift to get skiers and riders to their destination faster than ever.

 

Heavenly Mountain – November 22
If you have an open Sunday, you’ll want to head to the resort straddling the Nevada and California border. With the amazing deals they offer for guests staying Sundays, you may just have to call into work on Monday.

 

Northstar California – November 22
Take a bite out of Northstar! This resort just outside of Lake Tahoe offers some great cuisine with an updated pub-style menu. Put in some time on the slopes and at the dinner table.

Kirkwood Mountain – November 27
If you like to go off the beaten path, ask about Expedition: Kirkwood. You’re sure to grab some great skills and explore some of the areas that aren’t open to just anyone.

 

Sugar Bowl Resort – November 29
Phase one of a large project to clean up the terrain and produce better snow has just wrapped. It’s part of a multi-year, $8 million project, so it’ll be interesting to see what this season has in store for visitors.

 

Diamond Peak – December 12
Put the snow quality at Diamond Peak to the test! The resort has added a new PistenBully 400 ParkPro snowcat and is unleashing four new TechnoAlpin TR8 snow guns to ensure everyone has a great season.
