Ridin’ For the last month of the season, Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort is offering an unlimited pass for $150, equivalent to three days of lift tickets. If the snow stays anywhere as good as it was last week, that’s a steal. — Sarah Feldberg, editor
A great bloke Locals aren’t the only ones crazy about the artwork of Jesse Smigel. The Las Vegas resident was interviewed by the BBC and featured this month. Check out the video and article at here. — Kristen Peterson, staff writer
