Mount Rose is the highest mountain in Washoe County, within the Carson Range of Nevada, United States.

[8] The view from Mount Rose facing east is the Truckee Meadows, the second largest population center in Nevada.

Despite the name, the resort is actually on the slopes of Slide Mountain, which is on the other side of Nevada State Route 431.

[12][13] Being a three-thousander and a mountain at a considerably high latitude, Mount Rose has (köppen: dsc) subarctic climate with long snowy winters and short, dry lukewarm summer.

In contrast to the rest of Nevada, Mount Rose is plentiful in precipitation, and thus stands out from the state's predominantly hot semi-arid/desert climate.
