Tahoe Meadows Snow Play

Tahoe Meadows Snow Play area is an informal slope along the Mt. Rose Highway (Highway 431) about 6½ miles from Incline Village. The broad, intermediate slope is one of the best sliding hills in the Tahoe area.

Participants of all ages bring their own saucers, tubes, or plastic toboggans and tromp up the hill for run after run of fun. There are no fees to pay, no hours to juggle, and parking is right along the side of the highway. However, one drawback is that there are no restrooms. Fortunately, Mount Rose Ski Resort has restrooms, only 3½ miles up the highway. The restrooms at Tahoe Meadows trailhead and farther up at Mount Rose Summit are both closed. Port-a-potties may be available at the summit.
