Just two days following an avalanche in Kyle Canyon near Cathedral Rock, families took to the snowy slopes of Mount Charleston to celebrate a chilly Presidents Day.

Lee Canyon reported about 25 inches of new snow following Saturday’s storm, leaving blankets of fresh powder on the ground.

Las Vegans spent the federal holiday sledding, snowball fighting and sipping hot chocolate at the bustling lodge.
