Lee Canyon Ski Resort, Las Vegas

When you think about all the activities you could possibly do in Las Vegas, spending a day at a ski resort, isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Imagine lounging poolside at one of the Strip hotels, and then in under an hour's drive you're skiing or snowboarding down a double diamond hill in Lee Canyon. Alas, that's Vegas in all it's diversity.

With an average annual snowfall of 161 inches and over 300 days of sunshine, these aren't the worst conditions you could pick for a ski resort. Lee Canyon is located in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and opens early December to April for the winter season. 

Lee Canyon is perfect for all ages, and makes a great family outing. Just bundle up the kids up and head over for an afternoon of fun in

Las Vegas Real Estate News for September 2018

North Las Vegas Growing by Leaps and Bounds

In fact, prices are growing so quickly that many home buyers have been completely priced out of a once affordable market. New developers such as Pardee Homes and Lennar are definitely focusing on the higher end housing market with their exciting new developments in North Las Vegas.
