Many people don't think of Las Vegas as a premier skiing and snowboarding destination, but--surprise!--this resort located just a short distance outside of the city offers visitors the chance to partake in their favorite winter sports, including sledding! Averaging 212 inches of snowfall per year, the Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort offers lessons, complete equipment rentals and its own restaurant and bar, perfect for après-ski refreshments. Escape into a beautiful, wintery wonderland! Open from Thanksgiving until April, weather permitting.
