Diamond Peak Terrain
Diamond Peak has Tahoe's fourth largest vertical of 1,840 feet. The longest run is 2.5 miles but is mainly composed of shorter exhilarating runs that sport breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe.
Check out The Glades for the most unbelievable tree skiing. You can find fresh powder days after snow storms. Indulge yourself in Solitude Canyon or jump into O'God and GS steeper terrain. The resort has two lodges. Snowflake Lodge is the smaller mid mountain lodge that has an expansive outside deck that takes offers incredible views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra.
The Base Lodge has a big deck with views of the lake and the runs so you can watch your family ski by while you are enjoying a refreshing drink. Diamond Peak offers great protection from the winds and most days are sunny and warm. We rarely close down lifts due to high winds. The 655 acres of terrrain offer wide runs, terrain parks and space for everyone. There are never any crowds so you can spend more time skiing and riding.

What's New This Season at Diamond Peak
With a 20% increase in snowmaking capacity, DiamondPeak will be able to better take advantage of optimal snowmaking temperature windows and ultimately take one step further in providing great early season conditions that will last throughout the winter.

The tree skiing off of the Crystal Ridge trail has been known to DiamondPeak locals for decades as some of the best tree skiing inTahoe. This summer, members of the DiamondPeak staff, in conjunction with the US Forest Service, thinned areas off of Crystal Ridge between the Lightning and Diamondback trails to make the area more easily accessible. New Adult Intermediate/Advanced Lessons! With instructor to student ratio of no more than 1to4 and FREE Demo equipment, it's perfect for those skiers and riders who have hit a plateau and are looking to push past it.
