60th Anniversary Parties & Promotions

When it opened on November 19, 1966, Diamond Peak Ski Resort – then known as Ski Incline – ushered in a new era of skiing in the Tahoe Basin. As the first resort in the West to utilize a man-made snowmaking system to augment what Mother Nature provided in the wintertime, the slopes of Ski Incline became a family-friendly destination from the very beginning.
Now, during the 2025-26 season, we will celebrate our 60th “diamond” anniversary season with a series of commemorative events; nostalgic gear giveaways; retro “$60 Days” lift ticket, rental package and learn-to-ski package pricing days; and community-focused engagement campaigns to connect old-school and brand-new skiers and riders.
