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.
