Diamond Peak may not be as large as other Tahoe area sky areas, but the overall ease of use, run quality and amenities are much better. Friendly people and efficient lifts enable more runs on beautifully groomed and open runs. Great snow, ease and fun atmosphere make this my favorite Tahoe ski mountain!

Diamond Peak is my go-to ski resort in North Tahoe. You cant beat the breathtaking views from the top of the mountain. Get there early for good parking. Theres also a parking lot shuttle. Good on-site rentals. Ok restaurant, though it gets busy midday. Family fun and friendly ski and snowboard instructors.

Small crowds (for Tahoe), untracked runs the day after a storm, great grooming (maybe too much?). You wont find many moguls, tree runs off the top are fantastic, and The Loft is one of the best ski area bars out there. Crystal Ridge is probably one of the best views in the country!

Diamond Peak is a great Local Tahoe resort. It has all the different types of terrain needed to keep your day on the slopes exciting. Has a small resort feel but with a big mountain experience. The only resort in Tahoe that gives you a free birthday ticket.

Diamond Peak is a pretty small resort in Tahoe. Although there arent a huge amount of runs, it is a super good community of people who all share a love for skiing. It has a very humble and family friendly vibe to it and you are really able to get to know the other riders on a personal level. Views of the lake are 10/10 and the terrain allows for all levels of skiers.
