Nestled among the towering pines near Lake Tahoe, Northstar California is a premier Epic Pass destination known for its upscale village and exceptional family-friendly atmosphere. With a vertical drop of 2,280 feet and 3,170 skiable acres, it is one of the larger resorts in the Tahoe basin. Northstar combines luxury amenities—like fire pits, ice skating, and fine dining—with a massive mountain that is particularly famous for its perfectly spaced tree skiing and world-class progressive terrain parks.
Northstar offers 100 trails accessed by a highly efficient network of 20 lifts, including multiple high-speed quads and a gondola. The front side of the mountain is a cruiser’s paradise, featuring wide, immaculately groomed blue runs that are perfect for carving. Advanced skiers gravitate toward the Backside and Lookout Mountain, which offer long, steep pitches and challenging glades. Freestyle riders flock to Northstar’s legendary terrain parks, which include a massive 22-foot superpipe and “The Stash,” a unique, all-natural terrain park designed by Burton Snowboards.
