Northstar is a very fun resort to ski at. It has some of the best groomers I've found anywhere, and when the snow is good offers some decent off piste caches. In a light snow year, Northstar is the best resort in the Tahoe area due to their first class snowmaking capability. ... Moreadvanced skier

Northstar is great. I do miss the Belgium waffles they used to sell though. The snow and runs are nice and very long. It's a very large resort with a lot of runs Or in the front and back side.... Moreadvanced snowboarder

Anyone can have fun on the mountain from beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders. Highly recommended, but because of all the amenities it is a sought... Moreintermediate snowboarder
