Poker RunPosted by dawn on Monday, January 5, 2009 3:25pm (PST) So why do we call it a Poker Run when there is no running involved? That was the question of the day posed at the Hyatt Poker Run event held at Diamond Peak yesterday. I gained some insight to a possible answer to this question from some Poker Run savvy individuals at the resort but I'll just borro...
Snow, wonderful snow!Posted by dawn on Friday, January 2, 2009 2:04pm (PST) After a few days without fresh snow, you sure do miss it around here! After today's snow, everything looks white and pretty again. Not that it isn't always gorgeous in Tahoe, but the snow on the ground and in the trees sure does makes it even more beautiful....
Happy New Year!Posted by dawn on Thursday, January 1, 2009 10:03am (PST) I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable New Years Eve! I was in bed by 8:30, knowing that I was going to be waking at 4:00 so I could get here by 5 to get the snow report out this morning. I was, however, awakened at Midnight by the "Woo's" and whistles of nearby celebratory party goers, ...
Fair Weather SkiersPosted by dawn on Sunday, December 28, 2008 4:40pm (PST) It's true. I am a fair weather skier. As much as I admire those hard core souls who endure the harshest of elements, I am not one of them. Working at a ski resort, it can be a little embarrassing to admit that, but it's true. Not that I don't like powder, I love it. I love admiring the way it fall...

The conditions are great. So come on up!...
A VERY White ChristmasPosted by dawn on Thursday, December 25, 2008 9:13am (PST) Wow, it is dumping BIG time. The road are pretty gnarly today, so if you're heading up make sure you have chains/snow tires, emergency supplies and lots of warm clothing, goggles, etc. Be prepared and drive slow. Once you get here, you will find tons of snow, wind and LOTS of fresh powder. If you...
Racing at MammothPosted by lila on Monday, December 22, 2008 9:45am (PST) Hey everyone! This weekend I had my open giant slalom races at Mammoth Mountain. Well, it didn't go splendidly, but my GS is definitely a keeper. The first day I fell, but the conditions were tough and I thought I could get away with going straight. Then the next day, after the first run, I was doin...
Lakeview open!Posted by dawn on Monday, December 22, 2008 9:33am (PST) We opened Lakeview Quad today, and we are still offering the $29.00 lift ticket, so today would be a great day to get a really awesome deal! I'm telling all my friends to come on up! Fresh powder is calling....
Christmas CheerPosted by dawn on Sunday, December 21, 2008 9:40am (PST) Last night we had our Diamond Peak employee Holiday party. The theme was, "A Very Tacky Holiday Party", with tacky decorations and everyone was encouraged to wear their tackiest holiday sweater. We gave out tacky prizes such as spam and fruitcake. (Thank goodness the actual dinner we ate...
Opening Day 2008Posted by dawn on Thursday, December 18, 2008 9:23pm (PST) Opening day started off great. We had a good crowd turn out for our passholders BBQ and Community Appreciation Day. It was sunny most of the morning (but very cold) and in the afternoon the winds really picked up. It was super busy for me, the phones were non-stop! So I never did make it on the slo...
We will have enough snowPosted by dawn on Monday, December 15, 2008 10:52am (PST) Yay! This storm is producing enough snow to allow us to open, top to bottom on Thursday. That's great news! We will have 3 chairs and 4 trails open at a price reduced to $29.00 for an adult ticket.Looks like it's going to be a white Christmas afterall....
First big snow!Posted by lila on Saturday, December 13, 2008 11:28am (PST) Hey everyone. Today, the 13th of December, we finally got snow! I got to wake up at 4:30 today to go train at Boreal. Our GS races are coming up next week in Mammoth and I am so excited to rip it up!...
I'm seeing green..Posted by dawn on Friday, December 12, 2008 4:19pm (PST) I'm talking about green on the radar, peeps. The weather forecast is reporting snow as early as 7pm tonight! Our General Manager just came in from outside and said with a grin, "it feels like it's cold enough to be snowing out right now." Temps are dropping fast, and they are just going to...
Pssst...Posted by dawn on Wednesday, December 10, 2008 3:59pm (PST) Hey, I don't want to say this too loud but from the look of the 10 day forecast, 4 days are showing snow. Shhhhh...don't make a huge deal out of it, because if the snow Gods catch wind of any celebratory whoops or hollers they will immediately change their minds. (They are just way too temperamental...
Race season has started!Posted by lila on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 4:53pm (PST) Hey I'm Lila and I just got back from my first races in Mammoth and I had so much fun at my first ski race!...
Grand Opening!Posted by dawn on Sunday, December 7, 2008 2:23pm (PST) The place to be was at the Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday. Wow, what a great day! We had at least 600 people RSVP, and I wouldn't be surprised if more than that showed up. It was quite a crowd! The lodge looked mahvelous, dahrling, and I do believe a good time was had by all. Emily Tessmer t...
It's officialPosted by dawn on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 11:54am (PST) We will not open on December 11th, but our base lodge grand opening is still happening, so don't take that off of your calendars!Our crew will continue to make snow on days that permit it, so please keep checking back for updated opening date information. ...
Rockin' and Ready to Go..almostPosted by dawn on Tuesday, December 2, 2008 3:13pm (PST) It's a beautiful 50 degrees out today. Unfortunately, the small storm system last week did not produce much. At this point we are in need of a really huge storm, and low daytime temps, but from the the weather forecast it's not looking too promising. What about a December 11th opening? Well, I can ...
It's snowing!Posted by dawn on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 2:25pm (PST) Yes it is. On Monday, I'll let you know if it made it through the weekend. This is very exciting stuff, peeps!...
And the question on everyone's lips is...Posted by dawn on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 8:59am (PST) When are we opening?The answer is tentatively December 11th, if we have enough snow. Unfortunately, the temps haven't been consistently low enough to make snow over a substantial number of consecutive days to allow any kind of accumulation. A storm is coming in today; we'll see what it brings. ...
Making snow!!!!Posted by dawn on Friday, November 21, 2008 8:46am (PST) The sound of the snowmakers blowing is soooo exciting! Yee haw!! Take that Mr. Sun....
Waiting on a friend...Posted by dawn on Thursday, November 20, 2008 1:42pm (PST) Our friend Snow has not arrived. We have been waiting so very patiently. We thought we heard him knocking at the door, but when we answered, it was only his friends Wind and Cold. The invitation was sent out long ago, did it get lost in the mail? I'm sure Snow knows the way here, he's been here ma...
Gettin' ReadyPosted by dawn on Thursday, November 13, 2008 3:03pm (PST) Are we ever getting ready for the season over here! Everyone is buzzing around and taking care of their business, whether it be the rental shop inventorying their shipments of new demo's, the lift mechanics working hard making sure the chairlifts are all running properly, the IT guys getting new cam...
Happy Friday!Posted by dawn on Friday, November 7, 2008 10:42am (PST) I thought I would leave you all with a very nice picture I took from across the Lake the other day after our first substantial snowstorm. Doesn't our mountain look pretty? Another storm is coming in this weekend, although the temps aren't dipping as far down as we wish they would. Now would be a goo...
Snow that SticksPosted by dawn on Tuesday, November 4, 2008 9:25am (PST) It's official, we have snow that sticks! We got a whopping 4" at the top and 2" at the bottom last night! YEAH!!!! Ok, I know it's not enough to carve turns in, or even build a worthy snowman, but it's a start. And word has it, that we will begin snowmaking tonight.....It's time to start...
