Pros: * Extensive options for outdoor enthusiasts
* Other activities for those dragged along
Cons: * Upscale tone can be a bit intimidating
There is a dramatic transformation taking place outside Lake Tahoe, California in the Martis Valley, about 200 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area. Stunning new buildings are sprouting up like weeds in and around the Northstar Resort at Lake Tahoe, ...
I was heading home from a vacation in the Reno area when I decided to head up to Tahoe to look around. That's when I saw a sign pointing to, not just Northstar at Tahoe, but to the mountain bike park they have there.
Pros: Convenient services, friendly staff. Cons: Less varied and challenging than some resorts.
In the last week of March, with the ski season drawing to a close, I wanted to get away and enjoy a week of snowboarding. After boarding in several blizzards this year, I was looking forward to a pleasant spring thaw at a resort with plenty of...
Pros: High speed Quad Chairs. Protected from bad weather. Great Interm/Adv. runs. Cons: Locals think you are a wimp if you tell them you skied at Northstar.
Everyone likes to say that Northstar has very easy runs. When it first opened it did not have the "Backside" or the "Lookout" lift. Back then it truly had nothing more than intermediate runs. Northstar was expensive and easy. Things are much...
Pros: fairly big resort, wide trails, always groomed, very nice Cons: sometimes its icy, but then again its icy everywhere in tahoe
I've been a customer at Northstar at Tahoe for over 4 years straight now. I remember when I first
set my board down on their snow, I thought they would just be another average resort. A Squaw Valley
USA wannabe... just another plain old...
Pros: Front and back sides of mountain, Lots of terrain for all abilities Cons: Larger resorts in the Tahoe area
Northstar at Tahoe is the ultimate winter family vacation. For the past six years, my family and other family friends of ours have each rented family condos for a week during our winter breaks. Except for this year, in which we didn't go because of...
Pros: Great variety, good snow, good food, great time! Cons: A little pricey, but then no more than comperable surrounding resorts
Northstar at Tahoe is an excellent all-purpose ski resort. It's not a sheer cliff whose death-defying rocky crags attract Warren Miller's team, nor is is an endless bunny hill for kids and beginners. Rather it has something for everyone. The lower...
Pros: Good runs, variety of runs and snow sports available, family atmosphere Cons: Apres-ski /restaurants in village are somewhat limited
Northstar has something for everyone. Whether you want to ski, blade, snowboard, cross-country ski, tube, or even snowshoe, they have the terrain, the equipment, the instructors, and the right attitude. Good, fast, and friendly service is the rule...
Pros: Fewer crowds, friendly atmosphere Cons: Hmmm....we need more snow?
What can I say about Northstar! I discovered Northstar just this year, after years of skiing Squaw and Heavenly. First of all, Northstar is easy to get to from Sacramento, only minutes off 80.
Pros: variety of slopes, snowmaking machines, friendly service, condos are homey and close to slopes Cons: crowds .. on holidays mostly
Pack your bags and head to Northstar, even if it hasnt snowed all that much this year it's o.k., since Northstar makes their own snow on nearly 15 slopes. Once you arrive at the resort there is friendly service, beautiful acommodations, as well as many...
Pros: when the conditions are right, it's incredible Cons: gotta be the right conditions
This will surprise a lot of you skiers and snowboarders. There is also one small catch: This designation is based on epic powder conditions (2 - 4 feet of fresh pow) during an all-day blizzard.
My epinion on this subject is based on spending...
Pros: Something for Everyone Cons: can't think of any
Northstar : Guiding You in All Directions
If there is a resort that has something for everyone, it's Northstar. Whatever your level, whatever you’re looking for, Northstar has it all in close proximity. During heavy storms that shut down Squaw...
Pros: great terrain park, facilities, people Cons: unchallenging expert runs
Northstar at Tahoe is one of the best ski/snowboard resorts I've been to. They have great snow and great runs. Their terrain park is very good and most of the people there are generally kind. The facilities are excellent and the lifts are comfortable...
Pros: Best place in Tahoe to ski when weather is bad. Cons: Advanced skiers may get bored.
This is a pretty easy mountain, so advanced skiers will probably get bored here. I consider myself an intermediate skier and have had some great skiing experiences at Northstar. The lower front of the mountain is all greens. The top of the front side...
Pros: medium sized, diverse mountain, nice novice runs, shops, many bars & cafes, organized Cons: somewhat impersonal staff, very busy, some long lines at lifts
I visited this resort on Thursday Feb 6, 2003 as part of a 6 day ski/stay/play vacation in Reno. There were hotels closer to the North Shore but the prices were outrageous so I stayed farther away and shuttled in instead. The bus ride is very scenic. ...
