Cold-air Reno.

First snow on Mt. Rose. The city sharpens up.

The week the city changes register. Cold air rolls down off Mt. Rose, the casino marquees look brighter, and every patio adds a heater. This drop leans into it: alpine in the morning, slow indoor dinner, late-night fire pit.

Wear layers. Get the breakfast sandwich. Stand under the Arch once.
