Work Begins on New Mt. Rose Slide Side Lodge

Panattoni Construction Inc. has begun work on a $2.7-million contract with Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe to build a new ski area lodge located at 21333 Mt. Rose Highway on the Slide Side of the popular resort.

Designed by JMA, the building features LEED standards that provide energy saving components such as increased day lighting, water efficient landscaping and provisions for the installation of solar panels. Scheduled for completion in the fall of 2010, the new building will be constructed using metal stud framing with an EIFS and stone exterior finish.
