Diamond Peak Ski Resort - Leisure, Incline Village

Atop Diamond Peak Ski Resort's 8,540-feet summit, it's nothing but you and the sweeping vistas of Lake Tahoe. And you can enjoy the views all the way down its 30 runs, the longest of which spans a scenic 2.5 miles. The mountain offers challenges for skiers of all levels, with runs ranging from bunny hills to the most challenging black diamond trails. There's also an ever-evolving snowboard terrain park, complete with rails, jumps, and tabletops.

To help visitors decide whether or not they should make the trip, the 24-hour live webcams give a chairlift's eye view of the mountain's conditions and whether any yetis have claimed it as their kingdom.
