Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort
Las Vegas Has Snow!! Actually 94" This Season and Counting..
Las Vegas, Nevada – When you step off the plane at McCarren International Airport, there are a few things you know you can expect to see – bright lights, sand, and lots of skin. What if, instead of just traveling through a vast wasteland of sand and towering buildings, hanging out all day at the Vegas pool parties, or being wasted at the Las Vegas night clubs you could experience the thrill of racing down snow-covered mountains and enjoy relaxation fireside while sipping on your favorite hot beverage? Though it may go against all of the first impressions you get when you hear the term “desert”, the Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort is a premier location for all those traveling snow bunnies.
If you head north on I-95 towards the states famous Mount Charleston, you’ll be in close proximity of what may be an otherwise lesser known location – the Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort. Offering the best of what any skier and snowboarder could ask for, LVSSR offers 11 different trails ranging from bunny hill-esqu beginner trails to something more suited for a black diamond aficionado. The 9,300 foot elevation allows for plenty of space for the 3,500 person capacity.
Outside of the main draw of the resort, LVSSR offers top of the line amenities to add to the locations attraction. If you’re an avid skier / snowboarder, you know that these activities can work on a pretty hefty appetite. On site, the Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort houses the Big Horne Cafe and the Bristlecone to quench all appetites. The Big Horne Cafe offers an array of hot and cold beverages, soups, salads, and other simple fair like burgers and sandwiches. Clearly, you don’t want a completely full stomach as you’re racing down the mountain, so the Big Horne is sure to offer a healthy dosage of light menu choices. If you’re looking for a little pick me up or to have a little fire to corse through your veins, the Bristlecone Bar offers a menu of delectable beverages.
