Bud Light's - Ladies Day

Mt. Rose - Ski Tahoe is not too proud to announce the 9th annual Bud Light Ladies Day high on the slopes of Tahoe's Highest Base resort. Yes Boys will be Girls on this day of bad taste composed of tactless dresses worn by furry legged men sporting the cheapest hairdos money can't buy. Bottom line: men dressed like women get Ladies Day Priced Lift Tickets ($10 - back to the early days) and the chance to win big money and stardom in the "drag race" and the "beauty or the beast" pageant. Sizeable cash prizes add to the excitement and enthusiasm as Reno/Tahoe's finest compete for the crown. 775-849-0704 www.skirose.com
