Feb. 13-14: Easy Steez Snowboard Jib Camps for Kids

Feb. 20: 8th Annual Slide Back '80s Retro Ski Party (postponed from Feb. 6)
Mt. Rose invites skiers and boarders to leave the new millennium behind and travel back in time to the decade that gave us everything from Pac Man to Prozac. From once popular feathered hairstyles to stretch pants and skinny skis, visitors are invited to sport their finest '80s fashions. Breaking all of the ski fashion laws may even earn skiers and boarders new gear in the “Most Fashionable” contest at the Winters Creek Lodge, located at the base of the Slide Bowl. 
All the action takes place at high noon with the Fashion or Fad contest. Special to this years’ event is the fact that 2010 will mark the first season at the new Winters Creek facility and a celebration of the revitalization of the entire Slide Bowl.
