Diamond Peak now offers backcountry skiers and snowboarders access to the backcountry surrounding the resort via a dedicated backcountry access gate located near the top of the Crystal Express Chairlift. Users must have a valid Diamond Peak lift ticket or season pass to ride the Crystal Express Chairlift to the summit of the resort, appropriate equipment, and exit and/or enter the resort’s boundaries via the designated gate.
Diamond Peak’s ski patrol does not perform avalanche mitigation work in the backcountry, nor do they patrol outside of the resort’s boundaries.
Persons skiing or riding beyond the ski area boundary assume all risks inherent in the backcountry.
