Diamond Peak opened in November 1966 at the forefront of snow technology, being the first resort in the West to have a snowmaking system. It is known for being affordable, family-friendly, uncrowded and – most of all – for its breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. With 655 acres of skiable terrain, it has a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain, plus a new backcountry gate. It’s also a great place for kids and adults to learn to ski or snowboard with group, private or semi-private lessons, including a lift dedicated just for beginners. Those more advanced can enjoy the 1,840-foot vertical drop from a summit elevation of 8,540 feet, tree skiing and the Village Terrain Park. It’s not all about the snow though. Check out the Base Lodge Provisions for a hearty breakfast or lunch and the Loft Bar for a great selection of craft beers and après ski cocktails. Or stop in mid-mountain at the Snowflake Lodge to refuel with lunch, warm up with a hot cocoa or enjoy a cold beverage while taking in more of that stunning view from the wrap-around deck. Whether you’re just starting out or have been skiing for years, Diamond Peak is a great place to learn or advance your skills while viewing the natural splendor that is Lake Tahoe.
