Here’s one of the more fun invites for the snowsport season from Diamond Peak in Incline Village. I’ve done this a couple of times and it is a great outing, with wine and snacks and one of the best views of Lake Tahoe around that lake. And the ski or ride down at the end of it all is exhilerating. I’ll be there one of these weekends. See you at the Snowflake lodge!
Here’s the skinny:
Diamond Peak is celebrating the 10th season of the most unique event in Lake Tahoe, “Last Tracks.” Take the last chairlift up to their mid-mountain Snowflake Lodge and enjoy wine tasting and appetizers. Then ski or snowboard down a freshly groomed run at sunset. Last Tracks is held on Saturdays starting Feb. 5 through April 16. Pick up your Last Tracks ticket at 2:30 p.m. and ski for 2 hours before the event starts.
