Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort

Blue Bird Days at Northstar!

It's about time we got a good dose of sun! Don't get me wrong, I love the snow, but I do appreciate the sun when it comes out. There is nothing like a freshly cut pipe and a sky as blue as can be! This is what Northstar Resort is all about, struggling to keep that goggle tan at bay. Although the jump line in Pinball may be closed, it gives us all a chance to do some exploring on the mountain.

Props to you if you know where this (picture below) all natural spot is! Here's a hint, it's not in the stash. Anyway get out there and enjoy the amazing weather and fantastic conditions! -Cory "Snow Reporter"

Hey, Old Man Winter! Welcome back!...

… it’s so nice to see you again! We hope you had a great summer off, but it’s time to get back to work! Forecasters keep telling us this could be a big El Nino winter, and we’re ready. Bring it!...

Well snow fans, he did bring it last night – at least a taste of the white stuff we remember… We woke up to a winter wonderland (check out the cams!), complete with chain controls this morning! The forecast calls for cold temps to remain through the weekend, and we’re prepared to crank up North Lake Tahoe’s largest snowmaking system at every opportunity to make sure you are skiing and riding on some of the BEST early season snow conditions around the lake next weekend!

Yep, that’s right. We’re on track to open Saturday, November 21, and we can’t wait to see you!

Get your gear together, figure out your carpool plan for next weekend, and mosey on up! Haven’t yet purchased your pass? Don’t worry – it’s not too late. You can still pick up a Double Whammy Season pass – starting at just $399 – and ski or ride both Northstar and Sierra-at-Tahoe Resorts all season long.

We’ve got a whole slew of other deals you can take advantage of this season, too. Check ‘em out.

Winter Weather Returning to Tahoe!

It may only be mid-October, and we may have literally just been wearing shorts and flippy floppies, but there’s no denying that Mother Nature is getting an early start as she gears up for winter. I don’t know about you, but all this talk about it being an El Nino winter is getting me really excited for the season to start!

El Nino, you ask? Yes, my friends. Think BIG snow… Think snorkel-worthy…

So… what does that mean for you? It means you’re not going to want to miss out on an epic winter! And, it’s not too late to get your Double Whammy season pass and ski or ride both Northstar and Sierra-at-Tahoe Resorts all season long. Really, if you come up five visits or more, your pass is paid for. After that, it’s all bonus. With passes starting at just $399, you can’t pass it up.

Need to get even more stoked for winter in Tahoe? Check out the new Warren Miller flick, “Dynasty” and be inspired by some of the incredible skiing, riding and terrain the Lake Tahoe region has to offer.

Stay tuned for updates. As this weather continues to come our way, we’ll be sure to keep you posted on the latest details regarding our opening, snow totals and more. For now, mark Saturday, November 21, 2009 on your calendar. Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort’s scheduled opening day. Weather and conditions permitting, of course.

Tune up those sticks, kids! Can’t wait to see you here!
