Snow bunnies, throw on your winter wardrobe because it’s time to dominate the slopes at Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort. Every Thursday through March, the lodge hosts Ski Divas, where women 21 and up are invited to improve their skiing or boarding skills with two-hour group lessons and a cozy wine and appetizer mingle afterward. Lessons are $60 or $200 for four sessions. Also, don’t miss the resort’s radical deals (kicking off March 12) on powder play for the rest of the season: $50 for an adult day pass, and $150 for a Sunshine card, allowing full ski and snowboarding access. The 2011-12 preseason passes also go on sale then. The resort is atop Mt. Charleston. Check SkiLasVegas.com for more information.
