On 03/13 Jim Herring and I took an impromptu drive up to Mount Charleston and Lee Canyon. We didn't even have our cameras; all these pictures were taken with my phone. As it was overcast it wasn't a great day for taking pictures. However they give you an idea what it is like up in the mountains after a night of snow. The temperature was just above freezing and the snow on the trees was melting and beginning to fall off the trees. Just 30 miles from the Las Vegas Strip and the valley, it gives you a glimpse of what the mountains surrounding Las Vegas can be like. Despite the poor weather, we still were able to get some fairly good pictures. Click here for pictures ... Snow Pictures in Mount Charleston Area.
On 02/24/2020 Jim Herring and I decided to take a ride up to the Las Vegas and Snowboard Resort. Though it doesn't look it, Lee Canyon has had over 120 inches of snow this year. The new multimillion dollar two-story, 10,000-square-foot hillside property, located near the resort’s main lodge, features a heated terrace, patio dining space, bistro, expanded restroom facilities and a ski-in, ski-out bar. We spent over an hour watching people ski up and down the resort. Eventually we began to freeze and headed back to the car and headed home. Check it out here ... Las Vegas-Ski and Snowboard Resort.
