Spring FeverPosted by dawn on Thursday, April 29, 2010 10:00am (PST) Were you surprised over the late season Tahoe weather; snow, high winds, and cold temps? Some have been loving the extended ski season. Others are pretty much ready to move on. After over 6 months of snow in the Tahoe basin, it’s enough to give you spring fever.GLOBAL WARMING THE CAUSE? It is s... 
Diamond Peak is Closed for 2009/2010Posted by dawn on Monday, April 12, 2010 2:32pm (PST) Thank you all for a great season! We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons...not always in the sun, but boy what a season! It began with a pre-Christmas-time dumping resulting in a huge turnout for Christmas week, and the snow kept delivering and the cold temps kept our snow in amazing shape all seas...
Eggciting Forecast for Spring Snow!Posted by dawn on Sunday, March 28, 2010 1:24pm (PST) Wouldn’t it be great to end the season with a bang, or should I say-with a POW?! Pow, as in fresh powder. From the weather forecast it looks quite possible that we will have not just a day or two of snow accumulation, but we’re talking Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday al...
What a day, what a week, what a month!Posted by dawn on Thursday, March 11, 2010 10:40am (PST) I can’t believe we are already officially one month from our projected season closing date of April 11th! But that doesn’t mean we are slowing down one bit. In fact, there is an abundance of cool happenings on the agenda for Diamond Peak, and plenty of snow left to enjoy them all. Let’s just c...
Snow Coming to Diamond Peak? Let Me Gaze Into My Crystal Ball..Posted by dawn on Saturday, February 20, 2010 10:32am (PST) Looks like snow's coming, feels like snow's coming, but will there be snow? According to the weather report for the next few days it is probable. I can tell you first hand that here at Diamond Peak you can definitely feel a drop in the temps and it’s obvious something is trying to blow in, but onl...
Good Day Sunshine!Posted by dawn on Monday, February 15, 2010 1:47pm (PST) “Will there be enough snow left for us to ski on this weekend?” The answer is a big giant YES. That was a phone call question I had today, (obviously from someone who is not a local), so I can guess how the rumors must be flying out there about how warm it is in Tahoe and how that is affecting t...
Don't mess with the Ullr!Posted by dawn on Sunday, January 24, 2010 3:04pm (PST) Ullr is a strange name. It lacks a vowel and just looks weird. When I was first given the information about the upcoming Diamond Peak Ski Team Ullrfest event, I was a little perplexed. The first thing I did was pronounce it wrong. I pronounced it “yuler”. Like a Yule log. But no, the correct pro...
Happy 20-10!Posted by dawn on Saturday, January 2, 2010 11:21am (PST) So what are you going to call it, 20-10, O-10, Two-Thousand Ten, or just 10?I vote for 20-10 myself. It sounds futuristic and I like it. When I was a child in the 70’s I decided that 2010 would be the ultimate year of futuristic things. 2010, as I dreamed it, would be full of flying cars and peo...
Opening Day December 17th!Posted by dawn on Monday, December 7, 2009 10:31am (PST) Mother Nature is providing and our new opening day of December 17th is looking solid! We had 10" of new stuff last night, and it is still dumping. The question of the day is ...Why not stick with the original opening date of December 10th? Well, it's because we want to provide the best possibl...

Autumn at Diamond PeakPosted by dawn on Monday, October 19, 2009 9:54am (PST) Hello skiers and riders! The scene has been buzzing up here in North Lake Tahoe ever since last week’s early snow. People have been calling with a plethora of questions in planning their upcoming winter ski trips to Tahoe. I even had one caller who thought we were open already. No, not yet. We sti...

The Altitude FactorPosted by dawn on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 9:49am (PST) Earlier this week it hit a rare 90 degrees on the North Shore and it is hot. If it weren’t for the breeze at Diamond Peak, and occasional afternoon thunderstorms, it can feel as if the temperature might reach up to 100. But it has never gotten that hot in Tahoe, or has it? I can’t recall how oft...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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, ...
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 snow they say may come again, Thursday, or Friday, by weeks end. We'll be so happy to see those flakes, we may just celebrate, bake a cake. The Jiblet is gone, the Jiblet has passed. Thank goodness that no one ended...

Open for Spring Skiing & BoardingPosted by dawn on Friday, January 16, 2009 3:44pm (PST) I know, I know. It's not Spring! But it sure feels like it. FYI, we are open all the way to the top. It is beautiful up there. Just check out the pic of the day. Yes, that is what it looks like up there. Now. Right now. IT'S GORGEOUS! Don't let the Spring-like weather fool you. So it's almost hot i...
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....
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...

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 ...
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. ...
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...
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!!Posted by dawn on Monday, November 3, 2008 8:29am (PST) Here's a webcam shot from the top of our mountain. Last night we got a dusting at the top and the forecast is for 6 inches at Lake Level tonight.I'll post another shot tomorrow. Happy November!!...
There's snow in them thar hills!Posted by dawn on Monday, October 13, 2008 4:17pm (PST) It's official that we did in fact have our first snow of the season! We've missed you white-capped mountain tops! On Friday you would have thought it was the middle of winter with the way the temps were dipping and the snow was flying. Not the best recipe for my daughter's soccer game, but they pla...
First RainPosted by dawn on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 4:20pm (PST) I encountered the first rain we've seen in months while attending a friend's wedding on the beach on Saturday. They say it's lucky to have rain on your wedding day, or is it just ironic? In spite of the circumstances, it was quite a day to remember. We were even treated to a spectacular rainbow over...
