If you are coming from Reno there are a couple places in the Galena area, specifically a couple shops right before you start going up the hill (Galena Sports or Snowind Sports). Alternatively there is a shop up the hill at the Sky Tavern ski area called Mountain Top Sports. There is nothing at the actual starting location (Tahoe Meadows) to Chicadee Ridge however.
Yes, several places along mt rose hwy where you can rent snowshoes.
