San Francisco architects designed the first-of-its kind lodge in the Tahoe region, building a lodge located on the southeastern edge of the Slide Bowl at Mt. Rose. The building is based on a style popular in Europe, which brings the valley architecture into the mountains and features a glass façade and is constructed mainly of glass and steel.

Heavenly will unveil its new state-of-the art tubing lift, while Sugar Bowl will install a new chairlift at the top of Mt. Judah that adds more access to some challenging terrain.

Northstar will open the Ritz-Carlton Highlands on Dec. 9. The Ritz has ski-in, ski-out capability and features a huge spa, fitness center and upscale restaurant. The eight-passenger Highlands Gondola will provide a direct connection between the Northstar village and the Ritz.
