Lee Canyon Ski Area,  Nevada

Jan 22, 2018

Another stop on my infrequent bucket list journey to visit all ski areas in the west. Today was Lee Canyon also know as Ski Las Vegas. It’s a nice area 55 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. It’s a well run small ski area with surprisingly good coverage due to a storm two days before. 3 lifts and 8 groomed trails. Skied 22 runs.

Food at the lodge was standard cafeteria style.  Not much inside seating.
