This is my first season at Diamond Peak and I just have to tell you that your
employees are the BEST! So friendly, so
helpful, so much fun to be around! Even
with the dismal conditions, they make the days so pleasant.

I appreciate great service; the efforts of your staff do not go unnoticed
or unappreciated. Your folks continue to be friendly and helpful and
charming. Very, very gracious and they
go out of there way to make my days at DP so pleasant. They smile!
How refreshing!
But get this... although my ski partner is an excellent
skier, he's a clutz in every other way, bless his heart. He loses things constantly. At DP, (to date) he's lost his sunglasses and a
glove. BOTH times we assumed they were
gone for good, and both times they have been returned. He's overjoyed and I'm amazed. Every other
ski place in the world employs a combination of the "Who Cares?" and
the "Finders Keepers" Lost and Found policy. Once again, you guys are
so far above the rest.
That's it - just thanks so much from both of us for
making every day delightful. One more
month and we're outta here, but we'll see y'all next season for sure.

4 kids- 4 different levels. Teachers were professional
and took time to accurately pay attention to each child. Thank you!

Had an unreal time- learned heaps, thanks!
My wife, 2 small boys and I recently returned from Lake Tahoe where we spent 3 days skiing at Diamond Peak. I hadn't been skiing in 35 years, my wife not in 21 and it was the first time for my boys (ages 5 and 7). Let me say that the program that they have in place for teaching
children is second to none. Once you have signed the child in for the lesson and paid the tab (not too steep) they take care of everything. Never more than 5 children to a teacher. Breaks for snacks and a great nuturing place. I recommend it highly for folks who want to get their kids started and go skiing themselves while the kids are in class.
As a relative novice, I can't speak for how an advanced skiier would like Diamond Peak, but the lesson (with teacher Jake) was great. In two hours I was skiing down the easy slopes. Neither my wife nor I wiped out ONCE and we had a great time.
The rental shop is quick, reasonable and the equipment is first rate. For $74 we got a beginner lesson, rental and all day lift ticket. We can't wait to go back next year!

DP is sick! Why? 5 reasons.
1. Conveyor Belts- The only place I've seen a conveyor belt used to enter their
high speed quad lift. The conveyor belts sit behind a gate that opens up when
it's your turn to move forward onto the lift. This innovation is something most
resorts need to keep people from confusingly moving forward at the wrong time.
2. Huge Box by the Cafeteria Deck- The 20 foot box right in front of the lodge
makes for some fun board slides as well as great entertainment!
3. AMAZING Views of the Lake - DP has the best kept secret view of the Lake, so
much so that you almost feel like you’re going to ride/ski right into it!
4. Lack of Crowds - You can find your own lines thru the trees or thru the
'expert' Canyon without seeing more than a couple other people.
5. Separate Beginner Area - The bunny slopes next to the parking lot is a great
spot for the little ones to learn while you go shred/ski up on the top.

4.5 STARS really...there isn't anything I dislike about Diamond Peak...
1 STAR-Location..close to Reno/Sparks & Carson City & RNO airport
1 STAR-Price point...fair pricing for lift tickets, instruction, packages
1 STAR-learn to ride/ski programs and packages
1 STAR-variety of season passes...anytime, mid-week, & beginner
1 STAR-beautiful vistas of the Lake....STUNNING!
WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT DIAMOND PEAK?
Location, Location, Location...closest Lake Tahoe resort to Reno/Sparks and
Carson City (30 miles).
Another perk of its locale is the way it is situated in the mountains.
The terrain is fairly sheltered from the sometimes brutal Tahoe winds
that whip the crap out of you at other places.
PRICE POINT....
Diamond Peak is not only a fun place to ride/ski, but the lift tickets don't
cost a fortune. Thus, if you are a student, senior, or just trying NOT to
squander all your hard earned dough on some R & R time, then you should
check out their packages and deals.
GREAT PLACE TO LEARN TO RIDE/SKI...
Not only do they have a well-established learn to ski program, but also a
Burton Learn-to-Ride Center...I dislike the Burton business model, but they do
make a flexible board...which makes for a more "forgiving" experience
when first learning. So heck, why not?!
SEASON PASSES....
They offer a variety...even a beginner season pass, which is so cool if you are
just learning....so be sure to check their website for one that works best for
you.
Views of the Lake...truly stunning!
