Phase 2 of the Diamond Peak Renovation Project Delayed

Incline Village, NV- Phase 2 of the Diamond Peak Renovation Project has been given a year extension by the IVGID Board of Trustees. The second phase of the $7.5 million dollar project includes a new Child Ski Center (approximately $2 million) and ticket windows. The design schedule for Phase 2 moved from fall 2008 to winter 2009/spring 2010. The construction schedule for Phase 2 will move from summer 2009 to summer 2010.

Diamond Peak General Manager Ed Youmans said, “The delay of Phase 2 will give us more time to plan it out and we won’t have to worry about planning during this ski season. Also, the Child Ski Center will be a whole new building from the ground up, so it’s worth dedicating more time to make sure we do everything right.”

Phase 1 of the Diamond Peak Renovation Project includes a $4 million dollar Base Lodge Renovation that started on May 1, 2008 and is set for a completion on November 1, 2008. The total base lodge renovation includes new restrooms in the Loft Bar area, a 300 sq. ft. banquet room, a new food service counter, an outside deck with a stairway that leads to the bottom of the lodge, an expanded rental shop, expanded Food & Beverage storage, raised Loft ceilings with skylights, upper deck with heated paving stones, new siding, new F&B offices, fresh paint, new carpet, new fixtures, and more. Currently the project is on-schedule and on-budget.

Save the date for the Diamond Peak Base Lodge Open House on December 6, 2008 from 3:00-5:00 pm. Check out the bigger and better base lodge that we’ll have for the 08/09 season! More details of the event TBA.
