Las Vegas' Ski Season Extended

Originally posted on Powder | By Matt Lorelli | Last updated Apr 9, 2025 3:37 PM ET

Las Vegas isn't a ski town per se, but with Lee Canyon ski area just a 45 minute drive from The Strip, there are plenty of skiers in the growing population center.

Lee Canyon recently announced that Mother Nature delivered more than 60 inches of snow in March and early April, enough to extend their season by a couple of weeks.

The resort will now remain open for skiing and riding seven days a week through Sunday, April 20, 2025, a respectably-late closing date for a southern ski area.

Johnny DeGeorge, Lee Canyon marketing coordinator, said in a statement about the season extension that the resort wants to remain open "as long as possible". It's not clear if that means more ski days could be added after April 20th, but it certainly leaves the door open.

As of today, April 9, 2025, Lee Canyon has recorded 114 inches of total snowfall on the season, just a few inches below the reported annual average of 129 inches. There are 17 of 28 trails open and varying levels of coverage based on webcam footage.

Spring skiing is all about making the most of what's left. With cool temperatures and soft snow, Lee Canyon is the place to be to round out the Spring in the Las Vegas area.

Pack the spring wax, forget the layers, rock your favorite pair of shades, and soak up that springtime sunshine skiing while you still can.
