What's New at Diamond Peak for the 2015-16 Season MEDIA CONTACT: Jaclyn Ream, Marketing Coordinator (775) 832-1117 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE What’s New at Diamond Peak for the 2015-16 Season New season pass perks, improved glade skiing and more INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. (September 10, 2015) – New for the 2015-16 season, Diamond Peak will add new perks for season passholders, improved gladed terrain, more taps in the Loft Bar, and more ways to save. Here are some reasons to visit Diamond Peak this winter: New Season Pass Perks: Diamond Peak 2015-16 season passholders will enjoy new perks this season. New perks include Bonus Resort Credit, Resort Coupon Books, Bring-A-Friend Tickets, and additional bonus lift tickets. The new Bonus Resort Credit, $25 for Adult full passes or $15 for other paid full passes, will be loaded onto Diamond Peak season passes purchased by October 31, 2015. Skiers and snowboarders who buy their pass during the early bird sale (which ends Oct. 31st) also get a Resort Coupon Book valid for extra discounts on lessons, rentals, repairs, and more. Every passholder qualifies for four discounted $50 Bring-A-Friend Tickets. Diamond Peak Ski Resort season passholders now receive a total of 24 complimentary non-holiday bonus days, four each at: Boreal Mountain Resort, June Mountain Ski Area, Homewood Mountain Resort, Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort, Red Lodge Mountain and Whitefish Mountain Montana. As part of this partnership, Diamond Peak season passholders also receive $150 off 2016 Woodward Tahoe Summer Camps, 50% off Woodward Tahoe CORE Memberships, and a complimentary 1-hour Woodward Tahoe Bunker Session. Some restrictions apply. Visit DiamondPeak.com for details and full list of perks. Peak Pledge: Diamond Peak now offers a 100% money back guarantee for refunds requested by January 15th on unused Season Passes. No insurance or doctor’s note needed. Just come to Guest Services by January 15th if you have not used your 2015-16 pass and would like a refund. Improved Glade Skiing and Riding: Diamond Peak continues to improve the health and safety of the forest and ski trails with the defensible space program. Forest thinning during the summer helps reduce fire danger by increasing defensible space, but has the added benefit of making tree skiing even better. Look for new off-piste skiable terrain in the trees between Diamondback and Spillway, located off of Crystal Ridge. New Ski & Snowboard Equipment: The Diamond Peak Rental & Repair shop will carry the latest skis and snowboards available for demo rentals this season. Try top-of-the-line equipment from Salomon, Rossignol, K2, Volkl & Lib Tech as well as the latest Burton snowboards. The Rossignol Soul7 is a great all mountain ski and the new Salomons are great for carving. Ladies will love the new Volkl line, made for women. New Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: Two electric vehicle (EV) charging stations were installed at Diamond Peak in the spring of 2014 allowing drivers to charge their EVs while on the go and fully charge their EV in a matter of hours. The four Eaton 70-am 240V J1772 Level 2 chargers are networked via ChargePoint. ChargePoint requires a membership but are free for the public to use for the first five years. Ski More, Save More with the Flex Pass: The more you ski, the more you save with a Flex Pass multiday ticket. Available in 2-7 day increments, this direct-to-lift pass is fully transferable, can be used any day and is valid all season. Wednesday 55+ Ski Clinic Series: Diamond Peak will offer a special ski clinic series for Adults 55+ as part of the Incline Village Recreation Center Senior Programs. This 10-week program will now be available as a full series, daily lesson, or 5-pack. The 5-pack allows skiers to choose any five lessons to attend in the series. Diamond Peak’s PSIA certified instructors will provide beginner, intermediate, and advanced instruction. Instruction is designed to help skiers improve, adjust, or modify techniques and encourage lifelong skiing. Re-entry skiers are welcome! Register at the Incline Village Recreation Center (980 Incline Way), or call (775) 832-1310. MEDIA CONTACT: Jaclyn Ream, Marketing Coordinator (775) 832-1117 [email protected] Three & Free Guarantee: Diamond Peak will offer a new lesson program for beginners called the Three & Free Guarantee. Beginners pay only $119 for a Diamond Club Membership, which includes: three beginner packages complete with rental equipment, group lessons and beginner lift tickets. Once Diamond Club Members complete the three lessons they earn a free all-mountain lift ticket and 1-day equipment rental. The Three & Free program is offered Tuesday-Thursday, non-holiday, for ages 4 and up. Ages 7+ can register at the Diamond Peak ticket windows for a ski or snowboard Diamond Club membership; ages 4-7 can register at the Child Ski Center (ski only). Wild Bill’s BBQ: Wild Bill’s BBQ, located on Diamond Peak’s Base Lodge deck, will offer authentic BBQ fare, slow cooked and smoked with house-made barbecue sauces and tasty sides. Offerings include smoked tri-tip, chicken, pulled pork, pork ribs, burgers, and sausages. Wild Bill’s BBQ will be open on weekends and holiday periods this ski season. Improved Beer Selection in the Loft Bar: Diamond Peak’s Loft Bar, located on the top floor of the Base Lodge, will increase the number of beers on tap to twelve. The dozen taps will include the current selection of favorites, local brews and rotating craft beer handles. SNOWsat Grooming Technology: Last season Diamond Peak debuted PistenBully’s new SNOWsat technology for the United States. The initial season was a success, allowing groomers to provide excellent conditions in a dry year. These GPS-enhanced snow groomers generate a cartographic image of the slopes used to accurately measure snow depths and ensure the best coverage for skiers and riders. About Diamond Peak Ski Resort Diamond Peak Ski Resort is North Lake Tahoe’s hidden gem. Located in Nevada’s Incline Village, the affordable, family friendly resort offers breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe, a summit elevation of 8,540-feet and a 1,840-foot vertical drop. Skiers and boarders can experience 655 acres of beginner to advanced terrain that include open glades.

If you ski or snowboard I’d be happy to give you a full tour of the mountain this winter. Base area tours can also be arranged for those less inclined to sliding on the snow. Diamond Peak is located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, near the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe, renowned restaurants, and the highest concentration of ski resorts in North America. Diamond Peak is known for amazing views, affordable prices, and a friendly atmosphere that families of all ages love. Diamond Peak skiers can take advantage of amazing deals, stretching out a ski vacation longer without breaking the bank. Enjoy incredible deals like the Flex Pass multiday ticket, $35 BYOP (Bring Your Other Pass) deal, $64 ($69 Holidays) Adult lift ticket rate, and free lift tickets for 6 and under and those over 80 years old. You’ll see from our photos that Diamond Peak has some of the most incredible views of Lake Tahoe. Views of the lake are best seen from Crystal Ridge and Snowflake Lodge, but guests can still enjoy lake views from the beginner slopes, Base Lodge deck and even the parking lot.

  • June Mountain Ski Area Vegetation Management
    JUNE MOUNTAIN SKI AREA VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN Inyo National Forest Mono Lake Ranger District OVERVIEW Background Located on the Mono Lake District, June Mountain Ski Area (JMSA) is one of two alpine ski resorts operated under special use permit on the Inyo National Forest. The ski area is currently undergoing a severe mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) outbreak which has affected whitebark and lodgepole pine stands on over 150 acres within the ski area boundary. Additional acres are currently infested outside ski area boundaries, both outside and within designated wilderness areas. It is expected the outbreak will continue and intensify based upon the number of new infestations detected this past summer. Forest activities are guided by the Inyo National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan). The Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment (SNFPA), Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, Record of Decision, which amended the Forest Plan on January 21, 2004, sets goals and objectives for management activities which will restore natural ecosystem processes while minimizing threats to life, property, and natural resources. Regional Forester direction clarifying recreation management issues related to the SNFPA were issued in a letter dated June 24, 2002. Issues were related to Regional Soil Quality Standards, Incidental Removal of Vegetation and Down Woody Material, and Limited Operating Periods for Pine Marten within developed recreation sites and impacts to recreation-related activities. The first two issues were resolved with clarification; the third issue was resolved with errata to the Plan Amendment. Purpose and Need The purpose of this project is to develop both short and long-term vegetation management strategies for all areas within the boundaries of JMSA.

  • From: Lee Greenwald To
    From: Lee Greenwald To: FS-objections-pnw-mthood Subject: Twilight Parking lot Date: Monday, March 03, 2014 11:44:20 PM Attachments: 2013 International Report on Snow Mountain Tourism.pdf Cross-country skiing experiencing a Nordic renaissance Olympian.pdf Twilight Parking Lot OBJECTION 3-1-14 EAE v2.doc Dear objections official, I previously raised several objections concerning Mt Hood Meadows application to build the Twilight Parking lot. Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.
