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...
Valentine's Dinner and other tasty tidbitsPosted by dawn on Monday, February 8, 2010 7:22am (PST) I was just checking out our Valentine’s Day dinner menu at Snowflake lodge and “ooh lala”! I’ll give you an overview; 5 courses, 4 of them paired with their own wine. Tantalizing dishes that include a fresh crab and avocado ceviche (that’s marinated, for us culinarily uneducated folks), a...

Diamond Peak is my Oyster!Posted by dawn on Monday, February 1, 2010 8:20am (PST) I can tell you personally that skiing has been stellar at Diamond Peak lately! The conditions are exceeding my expectations. Better than last year in my opinion. As an “upper intermediate”, as I call myself, I have had the best time exploring areas I’ve not yet ventured into since I began skii...
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...
Snow snow and more snow!Posted by dawn on Monday, January 18, 2010 7:53am (PST) Get ready folks because the forecast is showing snow on every day of the upcoming 7 day forecast and beyond! Will it be the storm of the century? You can never know for sure in Tahoe but be ready because from the looks of it there are many powder days ahead! And it's a perfect time to take advantage...

Let’s see if I can answer some of the most common questions. Q. Do you accept reservations? A. No, sorry! We do not accept reservations for the packa...
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...
Snow in the forecast!Posted by dawn on Saturday, December 26, 2009 3:28pm (PST) Christmas at Diamond Peak was sunny and jolly (just ask Santa or Diamond Pete who were both seen on the slopes) but if the weather report delivers, we'll have some freshies over the next week or so! That’s good news because even though we are open 100% a new blanket could really come in handy righ...

Well, it's because we want to provide the best possibl...

Gobble GobblePosted by dawn on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 3:09pm (PST) Just wanted to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving with many blessings! With the current state of the world, I admittedly want to run away, run away sometimes (see previous post). But there is much to give thanks for. As a Tahoe local, it is easy to remember what to thank God for. All it takes is ...
Sick of it all? Escape to Diamond Peak!Posted by dawn on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 1:48pm (PST) I don’t know about you but I am sick sick sick of television and newspapers right now.

If that is the case, my prayers ...

The Sweet Life of Diamond PetePosted by dawn on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 3:30pm (PST) I never dreamed that one day I would be dressed up as a penguin for any reason. When I told a friend I was going to be a penguin for a Halloween event in Incline Village, she laughably assumed I meant “The Penguin” from the Batman series, and not an actual over-sized penguin. Then I explained th...
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...
First snow means extended online sale!Posted by dawn on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 9:31am (PST) Last night an early low temp brought a dusting of snow to Diamond Peak! This translated into a new wave of anticipation and excitement for the upcoming season.

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...
Summer is just around the corner!Posted by dawn on Friday, June 12, 2009 4:03pm (PST) Diamond Peak may be closed, but there is plenty to do in Incline Village and North Lake Tahoe, beginning with this weekend.
