2007 - 2008 SEASON

The Crystal Quad has just whisked you to the top of the mountain. At 8,540 feet you are presented with one of the most spectacular 360 degree views in the world. East, you see pure desert and the Washoe Valley at your feet. North, you see magnificent mountains. Southwest, you see fabulous views of Lake Tahoe. Your pulse rises. You take a deep breath and push off. Brilliant sun . . . crisp, fresh air . . . incredible snow . . . and breathtaking views as you go up and down the mountain all day. This is freedom. This is Diamond Peak!

When you ski Diamond Peak you rediscover why you started skiing and snowboarding in the first place. There are miles of freshly groomed downhill terrain with spectacular views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra.

The resort's classic design offers terrain to encourage beginners and challenge the best. There are 30 runs, plus open glades and tree skiing areas. The 655 skiable acres are rated 18% beginner, 46% intermediate and 36% advanced. The base elevation of the mountain is 6,700 feet and the summit is 8,540 feet, making for a vertical drop of 1,840 feet. The longest run is 2.5 miles.

Diamond Peak's average annual snowfall is 350 inches and the resort has the snowmaking capacity to cover 75% of its runs, insuring excellent snow conditions all season.

There are six chairlifts at Diamond Peak. All three quad chairlifts now have Launch Pads, which are the latest technology in lift loading systems. The Launch Pad is basically a conveyor belt that is designed to make your loading process smoother and a lot more fun. Diamond Peak is the only ski resort in America with this cool new technology.

Diamond Peak's "Great Experience Guarantee" states that if you are not satisfied with the conditions or service within your first hour of skiing, you can return your ticket and receive a free voucher for another day.

NEW! Freestyle Snowboarding Clinic
Rip it up in Diamond Peak's new Freestyle clinic. Designed to teach the specific skills necessary for riders to be comfortable in a wide range of terrain, the clinics cover freeriding, carving and freestyle to create balanced riding and the confidence to go anywhere on the mountain. Teamed with highly trained snowboard instructors and other riders of similar riding ability, classes will be offered daily for all levels. Two-hour sessions are offered starting at 10:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. For those wanting to shred all day, a four-hour session is available at 10:00 a.m.
 

Snowmaking Expansion
Thirty-two years ago Diamond Peak was the first resort in the West to install snowmaking machines. Last season Diamond Peak expanded snowmaking to include top-to-bottom coverage on the Great Flume. This increased snowmaking terrain to 75% of the runs, making Diamond Peak the "most-covered resort in Lake Tahoe." Guests at Diamond Peak can plan on great snow conditions throughout the season.
 

NEW! Equipment Rental Shop Upgraded
Diamond Peak recognizes the importance of quality equipment to the learning mix. Almost $200,000 in Rental Shop upgrades this season include the replacement of the entire boot/binding system for both skis and snowboards, as well as a renovation of the base lodge rental shop. New millennium skiers will be treated to better customer flow through the shop and an improved boot-drying system that promises fresh, dry boots every morning. These boot and binding upgrades coupled with a 100% state-of-the-art shaped ski inventory add up to student success and guest satisfaction.
 

Mountain Lodges and Restaurants
Diamond Peak has a base lodge and an on-mountain lodge that offer guests easy and convenient access to a variety of dining options. The Base Lodge includes a cafeteria and a bar. On mountaintop, the Snowflake Lodge has a cafeteria and a huge sundeck with a gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe.

Bee Ferrato Child Ski Center for Ages 3-6
Diamond Peak loves kids and offers one of the most innovative and technically advanced ski programs for skiers ages 3-6 and snowboarders ages 4-6.

A "moving carpet" surface lift transports children to the ski hill for more on-snow time and less fatigue. The center offers half, full, and multi-day private and group lesson packages for skiers and snowboarders. Equipment rentals are available. Three year olds are welcome in private classes. The center's Snowplay Program is for little ones who are not sure if they are ready to ski, but want to enjoy indoor and outdoor games. Child Accommodation is available at an hourly rate.
