LAS VEGAS - April 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort (LVSSR) opens for the summer season on Friday, May 22, 2015. The resort area will be open Friday through Sunday (including holidays), from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Summer activities include scenic chairlift rides, disc golf, hiking and mountain biking on the nearby Bristlecone Trail. Scenic chairlift rides will be available on the Sherwood lift that takes guests to 9,400 feet and offers views of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and wildlife like deer and wild horses. Chairlift rides are $12 for adults and $6 for children 12 years old and under. 2015/16 winter season pass holders can enjoy a complimentary scenic charlift ride once a day.

Guests can also enjoy lunch or drinks on the patio of The Bighorn Grill and Bristlecone Bar, along with tailgating games like cornhole and Giant Jenga.

LVSSR’s disc golf course has been named the no. 1 disc golf course in the city. A high-altitude course that starts at 9,400 feet above sea level, it takes players through the resort’s mountainous terrain and is a unique disc golf experience. Guests can walk and play the course for free with their own disc golf equipment or choose to rent or buy disc golf accessories and lift tickets at Lee Canyon Sports in the base lodge. The store offers disc golf packages which are $19 for adults, $14 for children 13 years old and under, and include the rental of one driver, one putter, a course map and a chair lift ticket. Disc golf season passes are $50 and are non-transferable.

With temperatures roughly 20 degrees cooler than in the valley, LVSSR is a favorite summer high altitude training spot for local and visiting pro and amateur athletes as well as fitness enthusiasts. LVSSR is also a pet-friendly area.

The resort will close for summer activities on September 7, 2015, Labor Day, weather permitting. For more information on LVSSR or to purchase tickets, please visit www.skilasvegas.com.
