LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Parts of Mt. Charleston will be closed Saturday due to weather conditions.
That includes the Spring Mountain visitors gateway, Kyle Canyon picnic area, and the Foxtail and Old Mill snowplay areas.
Officials say it's due to the amount of snow and that plows on main highways might not be able to keep up.
Visitor Center views… and it looks like this will be a similar view through the weekend. Please avoid travel to the mountain unless necessary, make sure your car is fully prepared and stocked, and check road restrictions at https://t.co/YrsNe4DxwN!

On Friday, the Scenic Drive at Red Rock Canyon delayed opening due to snow and ice on the roadways.
The Bureau of Land Management said the ice and snow was creating unsafe conditions.
This comes just over a month after a hiker died after he was injured in an avalanche on the Spring Mountains.
The National Weather Service said you can expect winter weather conditions Friday and Saturday.
