Northstar California, California, United States

4.0 (664 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in California Ski & Snowboard Areas

Prepare to part with your wallet. Ski resorts are greedy.

For the modern family that prefers substance with a unique, laid-back style, Northstar California Resort combines California cool with high-end luxury, on-mountain exhilaration with a sophisticated alpine village atmosphere. Halfway between one of North America's coolest mountain towns and one of the world's most beautiful alpine lakes, Northstar is a destination on the rise, having poured nearly a billion dollars into creating Lake Tahoe's premier luxury snowsports experience. Upscale shops, refined dining and Lake Tahoe's only five-star slopeside lodging is married to impeccable grooming, incredible tree skiing and enough variety to challenge every level of skier (and world-class terrain parks to keep the kids busy). Those who come to Northstar know what they're looking for. Sometimes it's adventure, sometimes it's to learn, sometimes it's to relax in a welcoming place with family and friends. No matter what that experience is, they'll find it to be exactly the way it should be.

    Prepare to part with your wallet. Ski resorts are greedy.
    Northstar is one of the prettiest ski areas in the Tahoe area, great for beginners and active intermediates, the slopes are not as challenging for expert skiers as Squaw (I will never call it Palisades!) or Heavenly. The location is easy for people staying on the North Shore or in Truckee, the runs are immaculate and the village is very pretty. But the resort owners are getting greedy. A lift ticket is already over $130 for a SENIOR or a TEEN, and then they gouge you with $25/day parking unless you want to wait for a shuttle from the hinterlands. A "cup of soup" sized bowl of vegetarian chili is $16!! And a locker is $15 to rent. We are already paying premium to ski, and it feels like consumer rape with the resort charging these exorbitant fees. Otherwise we had a wonderful ski day in January, with great snow, blue skies and warm enough to ski without a jacket.

    Great skiing
    We thought this was a great resort. The lifts ran well, many runs were groomed, and the signage told us which runs were groomed. We ate lunch outside on the mountain and, even though the food wasn't good, we were happy to have the option to eat outside.
