Las Vegas Ski And Snowboard (08-Dec-09)

LVSSR, USA, December 8, 2009 - What a great storm!

What a great storm! LVSSR received 13 to 15 inches of perfect snow yesterday and 80% of our terrain is now open!

Riders and skiers enjoyed an afternoon surprise when Mountain Operations Manager Jack Bean opened Chair 1 with ungroomed powder conditions!

“It was just too good to pass up. Hopefully, with an upcoming storm predicted within the next few days, we should be able to keep the lift open with excellent conditions” – Jack

LVSSR will open more terrain as soon as conditions allow. Early season conditions with variable snow depth still exists outside of the snowmaking zones. Always ride and ski with care!

Just a reminder to be safety conscious and to
