$15 mil. in improvements planned for Diamond Peak

Diamond Peak Ski Resort in Incline Village wants to evolve into a year-round destination by providing more than winter recreation.

A draft of the master plan was unveiled last week that includes more than $15 million in upgrades. Build-out would take three years.

The first phase is estimated to cost $4 million. It would include a canopy tour, aerial challenge course, Alpine coaster, mountain biking and hiking.

Upgrading the lodge and expanding it would come in the second phase.

Winter improvements include more snowmaking and replacing Lakeview lift with a detachable quad.

The Incline Village General Improvement District, which runs the resort, did not take action at the Wednesday meeting.
