Lee Canyon
Las Vegas's mountain resort, 45 min from the Strip. Skiing and snowboarding in winter, mountain biking in summer. 30+ degrees cooler than the valley.
Las Vegas's very own mountain resort, just 45 minutes from the Strip. In winter, ski and snowboard on real snow at 8,500 feet elevation — a full 30+ degrees cooler than the valley floor. Summer brings mountain biking, hiking, and wildflower meadows. The Bristlecone Bar and Grill is on-site for food and drinks year-round. Family-friendly with lessons for all skill levels, from first-timers to seasoned shredders.
Pro Tips
Arrive early on weekends — parking fills up fast. Weekday mornings are far less crowded. Layer up even in summer — it's significantly cooler up top.
Best Time to Visit
