Northstar-at-Tahoe...A winter escape just six miles from the lake, where the emotional highs match the altitude. We're not huge like a lot of places. And that's for a reason. We always want this place to feel inviting and friendly. We don't want it to be hard to get around. To go from one side of the mountain to the other is never more than a lift ride away. No sweating your way across traverses. No taking six lifts to get back to your car at the end of the day when all you want to do is relax. And what about our people? What are they like? This may sound shocking, but we're friendly, happy folks who love what we do. And it's all kinds of fun!

Northstar can accommodate everyone. From a cozy room in the base village to a slopeside condominium to a spacious mountain home. Convenient one stop shopping with one phone call: 1-800-GO-NORTH can book lodging, lift tickets, lessons, rental car and airfare. Once you arrive at Northstar our complimentary on-site shuttle transportation lets you leave the driving to us. All lodging guests receive complimentary access to Northstar's Recreation Center with outdoor spas, swimming pools, tennis courts, fitness center and teen center.
