I love Northstar, I have been going there since I was 4 years old and plan to teach my kids there. The backside trees are some of the best in all of the Tahoe area.... More

I've had some my best times ever at Nortth star resort of Tahoe! Ultimately, Snowboarding with friends and family in the epic pow is incredible. However, I haven't been able to buy a epic pass for the last few years. So, it would really be awesome to get up on the mountain a lot more this year. No doubt I would use the pass non stop. Cheers to you... More

Great resort for all levels. Gets very crowded, especially on weekends. The village is a lot of fun for families or those who don't ski. Lots of food and beverage options at the villiage and on the mountain. ... More

I've been to Northstar several times over several years (I'm based in NYC) and its always been a blast. The staff is good, the lifts are fast, and the terrain is amazing. Not to mention great views of the lake. As a snowboarder, I find Northstar to be the most snowboarding-friendly resort of the many I've been to, with lifts all slightly downhill... More

Huge place, great snow pack with fast lifts. The food is good but nothing to extreme. If I could change one thing about the resort it would be beer stations mid run.. and Maybe cheap bakery bread to fill up on for us collage kids!... More
