What can be better than a little wine after a great day enjoying the beautiful runs at Diamond Peak resort in Incline Village? This week we have received some new snow and the weekend is looking even better with several feet forecasted for Saturday and into Sunday – and more next week!

Last Tracks takes place on Saturdays – through April – and this season a few Fridays will be added to the lineup. This cool event begins at 4:10 p.m. sharp, but you can pick up your Last Tracks ticket at 2:00 pm to get some runs in during the later afternoon. At 4 p.m., hop on Lakeview Chair, which takes you directly to Snowflake Lodge. The event ends around 6 p.m. or at sunset, whichever comes first. All guests must stay until the end of the event and go down as a group. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!

Single event tickets are $34 and include a ski lift ticket valid from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm. This weekend will include Wines of South America. There will be tasting of a selected few vineyards of South America. How fun and unique – leave it to Diamond Peak to create such a memorable afternoon!

Get out and enjoy the new snow and winter kicking up another notch. It sure doesn’t look like old man winter is ready to give up quite yet. Remember, “Think Snow”!
