Looking for some fun in the snow near Las Vegas then head to Mount Charleston. Charleston Peak, is the highest mountain of the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada and is about 35 miles northwest of Las Vegas. A 45 minute drive takes you to a different world where it is possible to ski, snowboard or have a snow ball fight. The ski area is not not nearly as big as the major resorts but with such a short drive it's worth a visit. Weekends can get busy so if you don't come on a weekday, you'll find yourself in line for one of the two lifts for quite a while. To get to the ski resort from Las Vegas, take U.S. Highway 95 north to Highway 156, Lee Canyon. Follow Highway 156 for 17 miles to the resort. The highway ends at Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort.
