Paul Raymore Jaclyn Ream 2017-18 ski season Dear Media Partner, Thank you very much for taking the time to learn about Diamond Peak Ski Resort during our 51st season of operations. If you have never experienced Diamond Peak, this press kit should be a good introduction; however, the best way to get acquainted with this unique resort is to come see it for yourself. If you ski or snowboard we’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 Resort, renowned restaurants, and the highest concentration of ski resorts in North America. Diamond Peak is known for amazing views, affordable prices, uncrowded slopes and a friendly atmosphere that families love. Way back in 1966, while the community of Incline Village was still in its defining stages, Oklahoma native Art Wood envisioned a four-season resort community – a “Pebble Beach of the Sierra” – and hired Austrian ski consultant Luggi Foeger to design and build Ski Incline (as Diamond Peak was then called) as one of the pillars of that vision. After only four months of construction, Ski Incline opened its lifts in November of 1966 with a skier-friendly layout on the lower mountain of the resort. In 1987, ski resort manager Jurgen Wetzstein led the development of the upper mountain with the addition of the Crystal Quad to the top of the peak – an expansion that doubled the resort’s skiable acreage and added more advanced terrain. The addition also spurred the name change to Diamond Peak. This season, Diamond Peak skiers and riders can take advantage of amazing deals like Flex Pass multiday tickets with daily rates as low as $50 per day, $44 Bring Your Other Pass ticket deals, $74 daily Adult lift ticket rates, and free lift tickets for kids 6 and under and those over 80 years old. Should you require photos, you can access a great selection at this shared Google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzyUqkXvwJALVEVQeUZvOW84cTQ (Note: Please read the photo usage agreement found in that folder.) You’ll see from our photos that Diamond Peak offers 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 also enjoy lake views from the beginner slopes, Base Lodge deck and even the parking lot. Our HD webcams, mounted on the top of Crystal Ridge and at Snowflake Lodge, allow you to enjoy these views and check conditions from the comfort of your screen. If you have any further questions, need additional material, or would like to come tour the mountain on assignment, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you and connecting on social media.

(August, 2017) – Since opening day in 1966, Diamond Peak has strived to provide the most welcoming ski and snowboard experience in the Lake Tahoe region. This season, the resort known as Tahoe’s “hidden gem” is proud to offer a new terrain park on the Lakeview run, more perks for season pass holders, increased snowmaking productivity, a new interpretive program highlighting the resort’s history and natural beauty, and more. New Lakeview Terrain Park: Terrain park skiers and riders looking to progress their park skills will have a new, beautiful venue to practice in as Diamond Peak is relocating the small to mid-sized progression park from Popular up to the Lakeview run. The benefits for riders include an incredible Lake Tahoe backdrop – making for Instagrammable moments on every feature in the new park – plus the ability to quickly ride laps in the park when the Ridge chairlift is running. Accessible via the Crystal Express and Ridge chairlifts, the new Lakeview terrain park will offer creative features and a flowing layout focused on maximizing fun, building confidence and preparing safely for Diamond Peak’s larger features in the Spillway terrain park. Diamond Peak and Olympic champion Sage Kotsenburg featured in Snowboarder Magazine’s “Pepper” movie: Last spring, a crew of riders on their way to Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 21 event swung by Diamond Peak for a special photo/video shoot that will be included in the soon-to-be-released feature-length “Pepper” movie. With the sun setting over Lake Tahoe in the background, slopestyle Olympic gold medalist Sage Kotsenburg and friends Chris Grenier, Ozzy Henning, Nils Mindnich and Garrett Warnick sessioned a custom built jump on Crystal Ridge. Footage from the two-day film shoot can be seen in Kotsenburg’s “Who Is Pepper? Ep. 1” teaser on the Snowboarder Magazine website now. The feature-length “Pepper” movie is scheduled to be released on iTunes on Oct. 18, 2017. Stay tuned for a potential screening at Diamond Peak sometime this fall/winter. New Snow Surfaces staff with deep terrain park roots: Diamond Peak Ski Resort is pleased to announce the hiring of Matt Melilli as the resort’s new Slope Maintenance Manager, along with Tim Hay as the new Assistant Slope Maintenance Manager. Together, Melilli and Hay will oversee the resort’s snowmaking, grooming, terrain parks and summer slope maintenance operations. Both Melilli and Hay come to Diamond Peak from Boreal Mountain Resort, and both have extensive experience in slope maintenance, grooming operations and terrain park management at many different ski resorts throughout the world. Over the course of his career, Melilli has been deeply involved in planning and constructing boundary-pushing terrain park features for events such as the Burton U.S. Open and the Dew Tour as a contractor for Snow Park Technologies. Hay has also been recognized for his innovation in terrain park design and construction, most recently with an invitation to Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 21 event as part of the Woodward Tahoe build team. New PistenBully 400 ParkPro 4F grooming machine: The slopes of Diamond Peak Ski Resort are in for an upgrade for the 2017-18 ski season as the resort has added a new PistenBully 400 ParkPro 4F grooming machine to its fleet – the second ParkPro groomer in the resort’s fleet of five snow cats. The new snow cat comes equipped with PistenBully’s newest diesel engine technology, which burns cleaner and allows for more power when needed. The new groomer is also equipped with the PistenBully SNOWsat snow depth monitoring system, which allows the resort’s snow surfaces team to more accurately monitor snow depths on the resort’s developed terrain and see where additional snowmaking might be needed throughout the season, and also allows cat operators to know where more snow might be needed on a run in real time. Increased snowmaking productivity: This season, Diamond Peak’s Snow Surfaces team has added additional pedestals/hookups around the mountain for the resort’s HKD high-efficiency tower snow guns, allowing for more MEDIA CONTACTS: Paul Raymore, Marketing Manager (775) 832-1120, [email protected] Jaclyn Ream, Marketing Coordinator (775) 832-1117 [email protected] strategic usage of these very productive pieces of snowmaking equipment.

  • 2020-21 Press
    2020-21 ski season Dear Media Partner, Thank you very much for taking the time to learn about Diamond Peak Ski Resort during our 54th winter of operations. Opening Day is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 10, 2020 this year. Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we expect things will be a little different this season, but we’re very much looking forward to welcoming our snow- loving tribe back to the slopes, with new health and safety protocols in place throughout our operations. If you have never experienced Diamond Peak, this press kit should be a good introduction; however, the best way to get acquainted with this unique resort is to come see it for yourself. If you ski or snowboard, we would be happy to give you a full tour of the mountain this winter. For those unable to join us on the slopes, we are happy to arrange Base Area tours upon request. Diamond Peak is located above Incline Village, Nevada, on the north shore of Lake Tahoe – just up the hill from the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, renowned restaurants and brewpubs, and a huge range of outdoor activities. The Tahoe area offers the highest concentration of ski resorts in North America, from world-famous names to hidden gems like Diamond Peak – a community-owned resort known for having Tahoe’s best view, Tahoe’s best value, and a friendly atmosphere that skiers and riders looking to avoid the big corporate resorts love. Back in 1966, while the community of Incline Village was still in its defining stages, Oklahoma native Art Wood envisioned a four-season resort community – a “Pebble Beach of the Sierra” – and hired Austrian ski consultant Luggi Foeger to design and build Ski Incline as one of the pillars of that vision.
