Northstar at Tahoe Resort
Northstar is one of the most progressive snowboarding
areas around. Management
emphasizes grooming and “innovative park creations” and proudly
points to the fact that they are “open from top to bottom 2280 continuous
feet” thanks to a new snowmaking system. The
trail maps at Northstar say it all. It is not a ski resort for wimps anymore! They actively work to
improve features and are in the process of completing huge innovations,
but also consider their mountain a family destination. Northstar offers
comfortable mid range challenges with 75% easy or moderate skiing,
and their new children’s ski and snowboard school, plus child care and
minors camp. .
