A noted family-friendly Lake Tahoe ski resort for nearly half a century, Diamond Peak is hoping to upgrade the resort in the coming years.
Diamond Peak ski resort is currently updating its Master Plan to revisit the potential for the future development of Diamond Peak as a community recreational resource. The Plan explores opportunities for maximizing the existing winter business and assesses the potential for introducing new summer activities that will generate additional revenue throughout the year. The Master Plan serves as a blueprint for future development of multi-season activities at DiamondPeak.
Diamond Peak is located on Highway 431 in Incline Village. It has 5 lifts and 30 trails and features a base elevation of 6,700 feet and a summit of 8,540.
Formerly called Ski Incline, DiamondPeak has a 47-year history of providing community-based winter recreation. The Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID) has continued to upgrade the ski area facility and refine the winter operation and attempt to stay in the forefront of industry technological developments and modern guest service trends.
By contrast, while there has been a significant evolution within the ski industry toward year-round operations, DiamondPeak’s summer business remains very limited, consisting primarily of infrequently scheduled special events.
The 2012 Incline Village/Crystal Bay 2020 Vision Action Plan recommended exploring the opening DiamondPeak for year-round use. Additional summer operations at DiamondPeak would enhance an underutilized community asset, while creating additional recreational opportunities for residents and visitors to the Lake TahoeBasin.
What lies ahead for Diamond Peak? The Master Plan will be formally presented to the Board of Trustees at the July 30 board meeting, followed by another board meeting on Sept. 10 for approval of the Plan. The draft Master Plan document will be available for public viewing at least 30 days prior to the Board’s vote on the Master Plan conceptual document.
The Master Plan is itself a concept and items within the Plan will need to be approved individually by the Board during design planning and implementation.
