These guys know what snowboarders want in a resort. A nicely shaped park, one of the best pipes in the area, and top notch riding all around. Be sure the check out "The Stash".

Specials: Safeway lift ticket cards (convenient location) and Military appreciation days.

Northstar is a sick mountain despite the huge ticket price increase and that they are adding a Ritz at mid-mountain. Tough to stomach the changes though...

When it's snowing, this is my favorite North Lake Tahoe resort...it's situated such that it's blocked from high winds that nearby mountains like Alpine and Squaw are hit hard by. The hills aren't the steepest, but the trees are great to carve through and it's good on powder days. When there's weather, the lift lines are short, but, on nice days it does get super crowded with families, etc and lift lines take forever-- I would go somewhere else when the sun is shining.
