Recognizing its privileged access to Lake Tahoe through IVGID for all of its snowmaking needs, Diamond Peak has invested millions into watershed restoration efforts and the addition of 28 high-efficiency HKD snow towers over the last three years, which has saved an estimated average of 625,946.51 kWh per year. Two large storage tanks sit at mid-mountain and enable gravity-fed snowmaking operations to further reduce peak energy and water demand. The use of PistenBully’s SnowSat snow depth technology maximizes the efficient use of natural snow and man-made snow to reduce the need for snowmaking in patchy areas.
