Quality/Quantity - Our friends invited us to ski with them today. It just happened to be demo day:…read morefor season holders, it was member appreciation day with a free lunch. Can you believe that it has been around 15 years since I skied this resort?!?! Even in the 10+ years we stayed here in Incline, we never skied Diamond Peak, only Northstar... So it was nice to come back and relive the past. Small resort, even smaller today because a few chairs were closed. Plus, due to all the events, I believe there were 800+ people here today. And with this snowless season, the skiing was marginal... Skied a half day from 9am to 1pm; I quit when the snow got too wet. I was actually impressed that the snow held up so long on this beautiful hot day. Ambiance - So many activities today. See above. Also live bands, etc. Also, all the locals were so friendly, as friendly as my current local mountain, Mt Rose. Cut and pasted from their website: Elevation: 6,700ft - 8,540ft (2,042m - 2,603m).

The parking and trams are easy; the value is exceptional; the views from even the novice slopes can't be beat; the lodge food is solid; and the staff/instructors are top notch. The rentals were super streamlined and the lifts/runs well-maintained. If you are experienced, I can see it being too small of a resort, but for newbies and casual snow enthusiasts, it is perfect. I will definitely be returning!

Gotta be careful toward the top because some of it is soo loose and so deep that you get stuck like you're on the beach. Overall, still was pretty freaking sweet, especially for being free... can't beat that. Wife and I went on E bikes so the climb was really no problem, we ended up going up four times, and even took the trail all the way to Tamarack lake, which was super fun. There's lots of different options for terrain and size, some of which is a little nutty... I just wish when we went the lodge was open! Maybe it has special hours or it's only open certain days, not sure I would love to find out. If I find out, I'll update my review!

My first time at Diamond Peak. I've been wanting to check this place out for a while, but with the…read morelarger resorts in the area, I never made it out here. A free lift ticket provided by Yelp was enough to lure me out for closing day. With the miserable season, they were closing super early, with only one run open from the top and a mix of runs open from the smaller lifts. Looking around though, you could see the potential for the mountain, with lots of fun looking small runs scattered throughout. Definitely not trying to compete with the likes of Squaw and Northstar, it's a local mountain, and you could totally tell that from the conversations and folks that were around. The Dummy Downhill is their end of season celebration, where teams make dummys that are then launched off a ramp, akin to the Red Bull Flugtag. I had to leave early since I had stuff to do, but the community aspect was rad - lots of dummys from the school, local groups, etc, and while I was sitting on the deck waiting for events to begin, it seemed like everyone knew everybody else. For the half dozen or so dummies I saw, it was clear that everyone was having a good time, cheering at spectacular crashes, raving for those that made it all the way to the retaining wall, etc.

Great time at a phenomenal event! Thanks for another great year!…read more If you get the chance to hang out at Diamond Peak on closing day, and want to enjoy good company, good food, live music and a dummy launching off a jump I highly recommend the "Dummy Downhill"

Everything, including the weather was absolutely perfect. We highly recommend to any and all.

She also acted as a Day of Coordinator and worked with the DJ and photographer to ensure the day ran smoothly. Judit helped us set up the day before the wedding. She met with us several times throughout the year to ensure we had no further questions. Typically, Day of Event planners can cost thousands and this is a special, and crucial perk that is included in the cost of the wedding. While hiding before the ceremony, Judit brought me and my bridesmaids a glass of champagne while we waited behind a curtain to walk down the aisle which was just so sweet and thoughtful. Judit truly has a heart of gold and genuinely wanted my Husband and I to have an elegant yet affordable wedding. I cannot believe this Venue is not booked YEARS in advanced. The price is unbeatable and the views are breathtaking. I love the modern aesthetic which made for timeless photos. It rained most of our wedding day and the views and ambience was still stunning. Our guests LOVED the food. We chose chicken and steak. The appetizers were also a crowd favorite. Once again, the price was very reasonable and they had many options of food to choose from. The bartender was fast and they made the exact specialty drinks we asked for. Choosing Winters Creek Lodge with the help of Judit was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband and I moved to Reno only a year ago so our wedding was a destination for our guests and we wanted to impress them with the beauty of the area. We had 80 guests from around the country and they were all amazing by the views and beauty of the venue. Thank you Judit!!!
