Lee Canyon (ski resort)

The Lee Canyon Ski and Snowboard Resort is located in Lee Canyon, 35 miles (56 km) northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, United States in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and Spring Mountains National Recreation Area.

The resort is owned and operated by Mountain Capital Partners in partnership with the United States Forest Service under a special-use permit.

The area's total of 385 skiable acres (0.6 sq mi; 1.6 km2) offers 11 alpine skiing and snowboarding trails.

In the 1940s, the Las Vegas Ski Club operated a short rope tow and a warming hut.

Lee Canyon Ski Area was created in 1964, when the Forest Service issued a Special Use Permit in order to provide winter recreation options in Southern Nevada.
