snow around the town

Starting out with my view of Las Vegas. We moved here last Spring from San Diego and I really like it. I hope to post photos daily showing my vision of Las Vegas, and what there is to do around here besides the casinos on the strip.

First day - storms came through from the coast giving us four days of rain, but almost a foot of snow in the mountains.
These are the mountains north of us, looking up my street.



And also to the west, towards Red Rock recreation area and Mt. Charleston.



Mt. Charleston is over 11,000 ft, and usually has snow most of the winter. There is a ski resort up there, with ski and snowboard trails. They make artificial snow if it doesn't come down, and it's just 45 minutes from the strip.
