Skiing in Nevada?

Truth to tell, it ain't just desert and casinos!

In fact, northern Nevada, with its 24,000 acres devoted to winter fun at 15 ski areas - mainly situated around Lake Tahoe - is one of the West's premier destinations for world class ski resorts and lodging accommodations.

Less than an hour's drive from Reno lies state's more famous ski resorts surrounding Lake Tahoe which shares it's southern border with neighbor California.

Diamond Peak at Incline Village is usually considered the state's premiere all-around ski area, ideal for beginners to experts, including family-friendly and kids' runs, ski and snowboard instruction (as well as top casinos nearby for fast & furious indoor nightlife.)

Nearby Mount Rose boasts the closest location from Reno (a mere 25 minutes from downtown) and is famous for wild and woolly downhill adventures through glades and forest runs requiring giddy split-second turns, along with terrains park for daredevil snowboarding action.

Heading south from Las Vegas, check out the 40-mile drive from the Las Vegas strip to Lee Canyon offering 24 snow trails and 3 lifts, plus a tubing area, for a year-round destination of mountain fun.
