LAS VEGAS - March 27, 2017 - PRLog -- Lee Canyon closes for the 2016/17-winter season on Sunday, April 2, 2017. Closing day festivities include giveaways, live music by Tommy Rocker, and the annual pond skim competition that's open to skiers and boarders of all ages. Entrants in the pond skim contest are judged on costumes, splash, and crowd reaction. Winners will be awarded prizes during a ceremony on the patio at 3 p.m. Lifts are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Lee Canyon will make a $5 donation per lift ticket sold to the nonprofit that offers financial assistance to injured mountain sport athletes. Lift tickets can be purchased online or at the base lodge.

"Lee Canyon had a great winter season, and we'll be celebrating with snowgoers all weekend long to give old man winter a proper send-off," said Jim Seely, Lee Canyon's marketing director. "Closing is always bittersweet, but we look forward to an epic summer season."
