Last CallPosted by dawn on Friday, April 17, 2009 3:38pm (PST) This is it, the last weekend of our season. So get your Spring skiing gear on and come on up. What exactly is Spring skiing gear, you may ask? Well, sunglasses are a must. Sunscreen is highly recommended. And dressing in layers is a good idea, so you can peel off clothing as the day progresses. Some...
Here's to an awesome ski season!Posted by lila on Thursday, April 9, 2009 10:51am (PST) Hi skiers! The 2008-9 season is wrapping up. I have had some great races these past few weeks. At the Junior Olympics I placed top three twice, getting a silver in the giant slalom and a bronze in the slalom!! It was a great experience too!The Far West Championships have started now with the s...
Heavenly Spring SkiingPosted by dawn on Sunday, April 5, 2009 12:52pm (PST) I just got in from skiing and it was heavenly! The morning is the best this time of year to get out there, and then you can save the latter half of the day for sunning and enjoying your choice of beverages on the deck. I took a run down Popular first to get warmed up, and it was really nice, impecc...
A plentiful abundance of sunshine, at least until ThursdayPosted by dawn on Monday, March 30, 2009 12:04pm (PST) I was just checking the weather forecast and I love all the different ways they can say "Sunny". That's right, sunshine is predicted for most of the week, so Spring skiing is in order. There might be a small system coming through at one point, but with conflicting weather forecasts on two ...
Sweet Dreams are Made of ThisPosted by dawn on Sunday, March 22, 2009 9:10am (PST) It sure feels like Christmas in Spring in Tahoe! The trees are packed with Powder all around the lake, and so are our runs! We reported 16 inches at the top just from last night alone, and more is on the way. If you are a powder hound, today will be be one not to miss, and if you love the fresh stuf...

It's a fun way we're celebrating the first day of Spring by allowing everyone with the name Bruce ski for only $1, and everyone who comes to the resort gets treated to live music on our deck by Jeff Jones. This fun Friday begins a super fun weekend ...
Open for BusinessPosted by dawn on Monday, March 16, 2009 9:41am (PST) Diamond Peak is open today. We are 100% open at this time. The conditions are wet, especially down here at the base where it is raining lightly, and up at the top where it is a mix of rain and snow. And I'm told there is limited visability at the top at this time. But we are open. When others close...

Amazing MarchPosted by dawn on Friday, March 6, 2009 11:15am (PST) "We're set for the season.” Those were the words of our Mountain Manager this morning in regards to the snowfall and our resort status. We’re not only set but we are above and beyond what is needed to remain open until our projected closing date of April 12th. Hands down, the mountain ri...
poWoWderPosted by dawn on Wednesday, March 4, 2009 8:59am (PST) Holy Cow! Did we ever get dumped on. We got a total of 24" at the top last night, and add 30 to that and this storm total brought over 50 inches of snow in the last 48 hours! And it looks like the sun may make an appearance making this a truly stellar day. Yes, I think that the odds are very g...
Could it be a Miracle March?Posted by dawn on Monday, March 2, 2009 12:23pm (PST) For the last few hours we've been getting dumped on at Diamond Peak! This morning started out with a little rain but it didn't take long to turn to snow. It was funny because between the hours of 6am and 8:30am, the snow report was recorded 3 different times because the temps and weather was changin...
Get Sick and Twisted in our Terrain ParkPosted by dawn on Friday, February 27, 2009 11:12am (PST) Update:I'm sorry to report that this Sunday's Sick N' Twisted event has been cancelled but, we have pumped up our terrain park, and you could say it is sick & twisted! It has a total of 9 features, all are constructed and will remain. The terrain starts out with a 28' Down Rail and a 28' Up ...
The way up...Posted by dawn on Friday, February 20, 2009 4:20pm (PST) Today was an absolutely perfect day for a fair weather skier like me.A no-beanie-required type of day. There was one exception; up at the top of Crystal it was a little nippy. But at that altitude, you can expect it. You know if your ears pop in the chair on the way up, you're probably going to h...
Conditions are Sweet!Posted by dawn on Thursday, February 19, 2009 10:38am (PST) With 4 feet of new snow having fell in February so far, and all of our runs open, and the sun shining, it is safe to say that these are the best condtions we've seen. In fact I would say the skiing and boarding this week is as sweet as ever....
It's coming...Posted by dawn on Saturday, February 14, 2009 9:12am (PST) Last night each of my family members took a guess at how much new snow would be waiting when we woke up in the morning. The guesses ranged from 6" to a whopping 2 feet. Eagerly my daughter ran to the window to see if her guess would win and we were surprised to see, no new snow overnight! Yes, ...
Racin' in FebruaryPosted by lila on Friday, February 13, 2009 4:11pm (PST) Hey skiers! So far my ski season has been really busy and I've done a lot of training. But in the month of February, I have tons of racing!!! Today is Friday the 13th, and right now I'm chillin' in bed at Snow Summit. Tomorrow is the start of our Junior Olympic qualifiers for slalom, and I am so exc...
It may just be epic at Diamond Peak!Posted by dawn on Thursday, February 12, 2009 2:00pm (PST) This morning, it was quite cold, but the sun was shining and snow was calling my name. We just had 8 inches of new snow in the last 48 hours so I broke my "no beanie" rule, put on my hat and gear, and headed out for a few runs. I am really glad I did. The perfect quality of the snow, and t...
"The best snow all season, today."Posted by dawn on Monday, February 9, 2009 8:40am (PST) That is a direct quote from our Lifts Manager just this morning. If you've been waiting for the best snow of the season to come out, today is your day. Bring your goggles, and bundle up because it's cold outside, and enjoy....
It's snowing at Diamond Peak!Posted by dawn on Saturday, February 7, 2009 9:16am (PST) It is snowing right now at Diamond Peak! I just checked the weather report and it is showing a chance of snow for the next 7 days! That's great news and it came right when we needed it. If you're coming up to ski today, don't forget to bring your goggles because the snow is really blowing. And make...
