The bold and contemporary design of the first phase of Mt. Rose�s Lodge puts a fresh face on skier service facilities in the Lake Tahoe area. The new 7,865sf steel and glass building captures the dynamic and rugged natural beauty found at Tahoe�s highest base. Building on the modern aesthetic, the Lodge features shed roofs and a large glass fa�ade bringing the outside in and offering visitors commanding panoramic views of the mountain and Washoe Lake. A large deck with fire pits and outdoor seating provides more opportunities to take in the lake views and action on the slopes. The lodge includes a new 150 seat restaurant and bar plus seating for up to 400 on deck. The Lodge serves a year-round user group consisting of skier and riders, mountain biking and hiking enthusiasts, hangliders and local Reno tourists. The Lodge�s design targeted LEED criteria and features sustainable design elements. Best of 2010 Hospitality Award of Merit, Nevada.
