Was surprisingly family friendly. I was able to move around the mountain with ease and the lines weren't bad at all. Definitely want to come back. My wife loved the town. It is not very hard to get to from Reno.... More

The resort is huge in size, making it difficult to do all in one day. The terrain can go from nice mellow groomers to quick steep chutes. The parks are massive and diverse! The facilities are very nice and well kept. The lifts are in good service. Everything you hope for in a resort, Northstar provides!!!... More

This is a great resort but it is definitely aimed at more advanced riders. Beginners have options but not as many as other nearby resorts. The snow in Tahoe is consistently great so stop in and hit all the hills here!... More
