Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort
Draft Master Development Plan

Area Facilities Balance

Throughout the previous sections, we have prepared an inventory of all existing facilities for the winter operation of the resort. We have subsequently analyzed the Slider Carrying Capacity (Sliders At One Time) and daily capacity of the following operational elements: lifts, trails, grooming, slider service floorspace, food service seating and parking capacity. We have prepared a graphic representation of the overall balance of these facilities for the winter season in Plate II.7. To easily compare these diverse facilities, all capacities have been calculated in terms of the number of sliders that can be accommodated in one day.

The resort currently has peak day visitation between 1,400 and 1,600 sliders. All of the operational components, except for grooming and parking, fall significantly below the capacity required to service this level of visitation. These shortages significantly limit revenue and contribute to a crowded, undesirable guest experience.
