Learn a Snow Sport Month
Diamond Peak is joining the national effort of the snow sport industry to promote “Learn a Snow Sport Month.” They are offering programs during January 2010 for children and adults who want to learn a snow sport or who want to improve their skills. This effort is to get family and friends outside in the winter to learn new activities and get some exercise.
Diamond Peak has a Burton Snowboard Learn to Ride Center. They offer Burton’s specially designed snowboards which are softer flexing and easier to turn. Jake Burton Carpenter, founder of Burton snowboards, states in the National Ski Area Association Journal “Through the continued efforts of our Learn to Ride partner resorts, we are seeing increased retention rates for first-time riders, with some resorts reporting retention of up to 80 percent.”
In addition to Diamond Peak’s daily programs they are offering lesson packages for just $29 to learn to ski or ride during the week of January 11-15th. This package includes 1 hour 45 minute group lesson, equipment and beginner lift ticket. Learn to Ski and Burton Ride Week is available for ages 7 and up; lessons start at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. For ages 4-7 group lessons are $70.
"Snow sports are fun and easier to learn than many people think," said Carl Hill Director of Diamond Peak Adult Ski & Snowboard School. "You can burn a lot of calories, meet some terrific people and have an experience that can be shared with friends and family".
Details on learning programs at the resort are posted at www.diamondpeak.com. Children and adults are always encouraged to learn a snow sport from a professional instructor. General information about getting ready for a snow sports experience is available at www.winterfeelsgood.com.
Diamond Peak Ski Resort is located in Incline Village, Nevada on the scenic north shore of Lake Tahoe, and offers amazing views of the lake.
