Northstar is ideal for your luxury family ski trip to Lake Tahoe. On Lake Tahoe’s North Shore, Northstar has a modern mountainside skiers village with an ice-skating rink, bonfires, inviting outdoor couches, restaurants, wine bars, cafes, shops and après ski pubs, and for lodging stay at the Four Diamond on-mountain Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe at Northstar or stay on the Lake at the CalNeva Hotel or a Lake Tahoe condo rental.
Is very resorty, which could be a positive or a negative depending on your preference. Overall, a great intermediate resort with adequate options for beginners and advanced skiiers. My least favorite part, though,is that it can take a long time to get from your car to first tracks, and can often take a long time to get to from the bay area. That... More

I love Northstar! Amazing for beginners on long sweeping Greens and great black diamond groomers for those looking to advance their skiing. Never feels crowded like heavenly. Apres ski is very fun!... More

Amazing all around resort, tree skiing on a powder day is top notch, parks are progressive, plenty of groomed trails. Base and mid lodging makes for nice breaks to get some food.

Great powder; terrain park, and lifts. Lines are not typically to long. If they are; ski to another lift as there are tons of runs to take at NorStar. Gets some of the best snow fall in the area too!

Did not like notion to pay extra to get decent wait time or the need to use a tow to go across the mountain. The resort amenities are great but rather expensive. Trails on the easier side.
Very Good!4 / 5Oct 11, 2017

Not the best Terrain for the more advanced, but one of (if not) the best parks in the Tahoe Region, and most of the USA. Great family atmosphere, with lots of local riders and best of all, it's part of the Epic Pass. :)

North star is one of my favorite resorts to hit up in Tahoe, it has runs for everybody from beginners to advanced. Each run takes you a while to get down, gets you time to get creative with your run.

Northstar goes hard at their parks, from beginner to expert their park crew never fails to put up features suitable for everyone in a way that flows seamlessly from one into the next.

Best place to go in California and hang out with your family. Had an awesome father daughter trip last season great place for beginners and advanced skiers and boarders. Northstar is the best!
