Did you know that Las Vegas has a ski resort? This one takes us to Mr. Charleston, about 65 miles out of Las Vegas. Go north on the 95 and take the mount Charleston turn off. I think it is actualle marked “Kyle Canyon ” turn off. Watch out for wild mustangs and wild burrows. You can see it from the strip. There is a small, hotel and dining room half way up. The resort is at about 8,000 from what I remember. It recently burned down, but a new one has been constructed in its place. Rental cabins are available. Perhaps it may be a good idea to call a few days in advance if you want to stay. There also is a small town, just a few houses. It also is advisable to take a warm jacket or coat. Temps. are much lower than at the strip.
