![]() I did hit some serious weather on the way over, but it didn’t matter because the Atlas can handle any road conditions. I had never been to a ghost town, so of course I drove straight there. Last but not least I ended up in Virginia City! The last day as I was leaving Lake Tahoe the valet attendant suggested I visit Virginia City. I definitely want to ski Tahoe again sometime soon! I think my kids would really appreciate skiing here too since I noticed no ice! We ski on a lot of ice in Oregon. Overall, I felt like the skiing at Diamond Peak was fantastic. I hung out up there enjoying a hot chocolate with a little kick. Lucky for me they have a restaurant half the way up. We skied almost all blues, because their green runs are super easy. I wasn’t in the best shape of my life, so I was worn out after a few hours. In our group were a few adults that had never skied before and by the end of the day they were skiing blues. ![]() They literally had a ski instructor for every possible level. The best part of skiing here were the views, but a close second was the ski program. It looks deceiving when you pull up, because it seems small, but once you are up on the mountain it is massive! We all took our lesson at Diamond Peak and spend the day skiing here. Get a printable ski trip packing list! Diamond Peak Ski Resort She was like, you can obviously do it, so just do it! And I did. Well, she of course put me on blacks and wasn’t real compassionate about the issue. I do not care if I can ski down it or not, it’s purely a height thing. Just looking down a black gives me anxiety. Heights are a little tough for me and although they do not prevent me from skiing, I do avoid blacks. I was skiing more aggressive and faster with just one lesson! Full disclosure: I got a little mad at my instructor. With the lesson I was able to tell an immediate benefit. Volkswagen did take us skiing with Snow Pro instructors and even though I have skied for a long time I got a lesson tailored to my ability. When you or your kids need to take a lesson you want them to be a Snow Pro! Many Volkswagen vehicles are built to support an active outdoor lifestyle that includes winter sports, so this is a natural partnership. Snow Pros are either Professional Ski Instructors of America or part of the American Association of Snowboard Instructors. Snow Pros is a super interesting ski and snowboarding program and I am hoping that next November my kids can get into it as jr ski instructor assistants. The second row can be moved forward or backwards, allowing more legroom for passengers sitting in the 3rd row and parking assist.Īmazon also has used 2018 models. Here’s a quick video walking you through the Atlas. Generous Trunk Space: The Atlas has a lot of trunk space with the 3rd row up or down. It has 33.7 inches of leg room which is almost as much as the second row has, but the second row can be moved forward or backwards, which increases the leg room greatly if needed. Roomier 3rd Row: The 3rd row legroom is better than expected. It also shows you the time and temperature. ![]() I loved having the navigation displayed in the dash right in front of me. Massive Moonroof: The moonroof is outrageously large!ĭash cubby: I don’t know what else to call it, but on the dash is a little enclave and it’s the perfect spot of a cell phone.Ĭustomizable Dash – The dash is electronic so you can pick and choose what you want to look at. Heated Steering Wheel: Where I live can get miserably cold and having a heated steering wheel is so fantastic. Heated Second Row Seats: The seats in the second row are heated too! The second row has their own vents and control of their air. Heated and Cooling Front Row Seats: The front seats blow cool air or heat up. Things you can do with the touchscreen are access Apple Car Play or Android Auto, use the navigation system, and use the backup camera which is a 360 degree, birds eye view backup camera! Touch Screen that works as fast as my phone! The touchscreen in the dash allows you to scroll through information fast and you can scroll like using a cell phone. On the Atlas there were a lot of features I enjoyed and some that really stood out to me. If I were planning to purchase an SUV, this would probably be it.
