Northstar at Tahoe in Winter

Northstar at Tahoe has long been known as a family-friendly ski resort, good for skiing and snowboarding. Base elevation is 6,330 feet (1,929 meters), the summit is 8,610 feet (2,624 meters) and average annual snowfall is 350 inches (9 meters).

Mt. Pluto is the family skiing spot and intermediate skiers like Schaffer's Camp. The Backside provides long, uninterrupted runs of groomed powder and bumps, while Lookout Mountain offers plenty of steeps and tree skiing. Terrain parks are available for snowboarders and freestyle skiers.

Learn to ski or improve your skills with a wide range of lessons for both skiers and snowboarders.

Other winter activities include ice skating, snowtubing and cross-country skiing. And when you're tired out from all that, buy a s'mores kit and roast those marshmallows around one of the outdoor fire pits.

Guests at the Resort can play or take lessons at the highly-rated tennis center or do a few laps in the swimming pool.
