Within the last 7 days we've seen over 50 inches of fresh powder fall on the summit, leaving Northstar with great snow conditions. We are expecting sunny skies and high temperatures in the midst of the 40 to 50 degree range. Spring skiing is back, following another substantial snowfall! There is a chance we could see some precipitation Saturday, however we are only expecting trace amounts of snow or rain. Prepare for sunshine, ideal temperatures, and great snow conditions at Northstar this weekend. I went out and made some turns this last weekend with camera in hand to show you how things were looking – they were looking great!
In case you weren't aware, Northstar Resort is hosting the 4th Annual Vans Cup at Tahoe this weekend. Some of the biggest names in professional snowboarding will be here to duke it out for a chance to win some of that $200,000 prize purse for 3 different events. You've got to come check out the Rail Jam this Friday next to the Village Overlook Bar – it has been a great event the last few years. It is incredible what some of these guys will be throwing down on the feature built by Snow Park Technologies just for this event. Check out our home page video featuring Vans and what’s happening this weekend here at Northstar. The Rail Jam will be held from 5:00pm – 6:45pm on Friday. If you won’t make it Friday night but are planning on heading up this weekend, can still watch some great snowboarding here at the resort. The Slopestyle event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. If you haven’t had a chance to see some of these pros throw down live and in person, well you should make a point to stop at Pioneer Trail this coming Saturday. I can guarantee you will be impressed or just in awe! The Big Enchilada will be held Sunday, meaning our even more beefed up Superpipe (just for this event) has been closed this entire week so the perfect pipe will be ready. The Superpipe event is the one to come watch! First place takes home the biggest chunk of cash out of all 3 days and is really fun to watch. The finals will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., so that’s when I would recommend you be there.
See you on the hill!
good times!!! let's do it again soon.
