Lila’s Local Legacy

Lila Lapanja grew up on the slopes of Diamond Peak Ski Resort, first learning to ski at age 2 when her parents scattered Easter eggs around the bunny slope and challenged little Lila to pick them up while wearing skis. She fell in love with the sport quickly and ultimately found a supportive environment with the Diamond Peak Ski Team as her junior ski racing career took off.

Lila began her professional ski racing career on the U.S. Ski Team, winning four U.S. National Championship titles along the way. After years of competing on the World Cup, Europa Cup and NorAm race circuits as an independent racer from the U.S., she switched affiliations to ski for her father’s home country of Slovenia two years ago, with the goal of qualifying for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

Recent success on the Europa Cup ski racing circuit this winter led to her inclusion in the Slovenian Alpine Skiing Olympic team – a dream she has fostered from a very young age. Lila competed in the Olympic Alpine Skiing Women’s Slalom and will be on hand at Diamond Peak’s Easter celebration for a meet-and-greet to inspire the next generation of homegrown skiers.

A valid lift ticket or DP season pass is required for the on-mountain egg hunt and church service. On-mountain events are only open to skiers and snowboarders, no foot loading lifts or walking on the slopes. Only one golden egg prize per person. The Bunny Booth is in the Base Area so lift tickets are not required and it is open to non-skiers of all ages. If it is chilly, the bunny booth will be moved inside to the Loft Bar.
