The Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort, also known to locals as Lee Canyon, is located in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, about 45 minutes' drive northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada via US 95. It is privately owned and operated. The best snow is usually found in February and early March, although occasionally sufficient snow cover exists as early as November.
The area offers 11 alpine skiing and snowboarding trails and four lifts, including three chairlifts and one surface lift.
History
On January 9, 2005, the ski area was forced to close for an extended period of time after an avalanche damaged one of the four chairlifts and caused one death. The resort opened for the remainder of the season with only three chairlifts in operation, with the remaining closed chairlift being where the avalanche occurred.
