Diamond Peak Lake Tahoe is known mostly for the snowboard and ski community. This is possibly one of the most competitive ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe area. Diamond Peak in Lake Tahoe is not one of the massive expansion Tahoe resorts; this is a smaller and less populated ski resort that stands out above the rest in elaborate trails rather than massive un-kept acreage. Diamond Peak in Lake Tahoe offers several ski runs that knife through the Ponderosa Pines along a single ridge, making it the perfect family ski resort with multiple ski runs funneling into a single base area.
The Diamond Peak resort and ski area is often less crowded than many of the other larger Lake Tahoe ski resorts, making it a perfect match for families and those looking to truly get away from it all for the weekend, or extended periods. Because of the smaller crowds something that is repeated from guests year to year is that the atmosphere is so much more friendly than many other resorts, the community reflects the amazing view and people can not help them selves but be happier and stress free.
Another attraction to Diamond Peak is that it is only 27 miles, or 40 minutes, from Reno, Nevada. This puts this amazing beautiful resort closer to the Reno gaming community then any other Tahoe ski resort. This is an opportunity to spend your days on the trails and many lifts offered and the evenings in the casinos and nightclubs of Reno, an opportunity that is rarely available. The best advice that can be given when visiting Diamond Peak in Lake Tahoe is bring a camera, the views are breath taking.

The Boreal Ski Area is one of the most popular when it comes to novice skiers looking for complex courses and all of the amenities associated with a top resort. Just one more example of the high quality equipment that is offered almost exclusively at the Boreal Ski Area is the new Castle Peak Quad Chairs that will replace the industry standard Gunnar’s and ClaimJumper Chairs. This may not sound like such a big deal but with the increase of base area and capacity on beginner and novice runs, it is easy to see why they are a favorite. This type of adjustment or upgrade is what really helps one ski resort stand out amongst the rest when it comes to Lake Tahoe, when planning on sitting most of the day, a comfortable chair can be a big deal.
That is not the only addition that is coming into the Boreal Ski Area this year, they are also upgrading into a more advanced and higher yielding snow machine, yes even in Tahoe they need to extend the winters a few extra weeks with manufactured snow. The use of manufactured snow gives you the opportunity to take a vacation a little later than you can in some of the strictly natural Lake Tahoe ski resorts. The output of manufactured snow is set to double with the use of the new fan powered snow machine, and will further the notion that the first place to go skiing in Northern California is and will always be Boreal Ski Area.
Having had the snow first for the last several years and this only being magnified over the next several years with the use of their new and more powerful snow machine, book your tickets early and take advantage of the early snow, while your colleagues are still trying to work out their winter vacation time.
