Northstar at Tahoe Review

One of the best resorts to go snowboarding in Tahoe, just wish that the lines weren't so crazy long.

I found the village to be quit nice. The put put golf is a nice touch. They did a great job laying out the village and having the right mix of shops.

Free ice rink (rental skates cost), lots of cozy shops, and (I hear) good skiing. Didn't stay overnight, just stopped by.

Extremely beautiful location. Many ski trails down the mountain, ice skating ring. A bit pricey, but worth it if you love skiing or snowboarding

Great place for all levels of skiers. Especially great for families.

Northstar has upscale village. Had changed so much from the small resort it was.

We went here to ski after original plan fell through due to not enough snow for most resorts. I appreciated that Northstar had a lot of runs open, but the one day lift ticket of $150 was exhorbitant. The resort is very beautiful and the trails were well maintained and well marked. I appreciated the shuttle from the parking lot and free smores at 4pm!

Great ski resort for all levels. Really well maintained and service is good.

Went for an event. The shuttles were great at getting us to and from

Everything was perfect except long Ling in rentals.

This little village area is a must see when you are in Tahoe! There are many little shops and eateries for you to explore, including a wine bar which we thoroughly enjoyed. There is an ice skating rink in the middle and, of course, the resort itself. It was raining when we went so not too many people out & about but this is a popular place. Beautiful setting!

Great mountain biking. Took my bike to the bike shop on-mountain for some unanticipated repairs to my brake. Ivan was super helpful and upfront with what he thought I needed. Work didn't take too long. Mountain bike routes were great.

I love Northstar!! I'm an intermediate skier and feel there are many hills for all levels. Gorgeous views as well.

Beautiful location with a great pool for the family.

Overpriced for what you get, e.g., compared to Squaw Valley or Kirkwood. The locals don't call it "Flatstar" for nothing.

Snow was all slush but the mountain and glades are amazing. Wish there was better weather to ski this beautiful resort

Was told they only have lift tickets if you rent a bike from them

Ski resort is fantastic, slopes for everybody. Village is very diverse in food culture.

Mountain closed last weekend, Village was "Open" but there were no open stores. It was a ghost town. I saw more bears than people at Northstar. It was not open..

Amazing. Big mountain Gnarshreddin and enjoying the amazing beauty of the Truckee River and Tahoe Basin. The uninque geological rim shelf of the lake. Aweome. Such a pristine and beautiful place! Freeride Fest 2018 was epic. Highly recommend and come hang out with Bike Monkey thanks Kyle !! Trek Bicycle. Co. & Trek Bicycle Corte Madera Marin. The Peter Stetina Sierra Prospect Rally Ride. Amazing time.

A variety of shops from clothes, skis, snow boards, to do your own pottery, and a small but classy tot shop! Even ice skating.

Beautiful place. The Ritz Carlton is a wonderful place to stay. Acapulco restaurant inside the Ritz has tiny, expensive portions and terrible food.

Great Skiing, very well patrolled slopes. My son fell and within minutes was helped by staff at Northstar.

This is a great snowboarding resort, great staff, lots of little booths with food. Really nice place to explore and hang out with friends even at night when the slopes close

Had a blast 1st time to northstar backside was a lil icy but softened up by the afternoon

I loved the transportation service from the mountain to my home. What a beautiful snow!

The snow conditions were pretty bad but the few runs that were open were a lot of fun

We absolutely loved it! Great for entire family .ice skating
Sking , Snow boarding. For pit to warm to your freezing hands on site . Great food .Starbucks etc

Love this place very large very nice staff, just need snow and it would be perfect

Great location for all levels of skiers/snowboarders. Huge resort with many types of runs. View is amazing as well.

Haven't been here in 6 years. I can't believe how nice it is now

Nice and busy area. Had a blast snowboarding out there...body hurt but was worth the trip.

If you want great expert-level skiing with steeps and cliffs then Northstar is not for you. But if you want to have some challenging terrain, excellent parks, and a place to bring the kids then Northstar is perfect for your vacation. There village is filled with restaurants and shops. On most weekends they have live music and free smores. Cool atmosphere. But again, it is geared towards families and their vacation's needs.

Beautiful, perfect powder, smooth, civil lift lines, skilled, enthusiastic tree-lines. Absolutely perfect first run of the season on a new equipment. Super-chill and stoked!

Extremely expensive not one single discount available

Expensive but well worth it. Tip: the backside trails are usually less crowded.

I used to rave about this place but it's so big and commercialized that the mountain feeling I used to get while walking through the village has been transformed into the same feeling I get when I walk into a Las Vegas club. They are blantly geared toward the super elite with vip passes and access lines that leave the rest of the visitors with a bad taste. To top it off the parking situation is not ideal. The busses which pick you up and drop you off at your far away parking spot don't have equipment holders on the outside, so all the equipment goes on the bus with you.

Despite of that, the reason they still get 4 stars is the nice assortment of ski runs ranging from very easy to a challenging array of blacks. They also make a lot of their own snow which keeps the snow conditions above average for most of the time.

Great skiing, many places to go around, and great places to eat

Location, room was nice but, there is no good restaurants at the resort.

Nice "Village" set up with lots of options. The shuttle system to condos could use an upgrade, sometimes you may wait over 30 minutes for a shuttle.

Friendly service, great accommodations and beautiful scenery.

Room is beautiful with great decor. Not crowded at all. Thermostat in living room doesn't work. Construction outside in AM.

Or this place has come a long way during the over the years. It is a good family place but way too expensive.

Best resort in all of Tahoe with good variety of terrain, breathtaking views, great restaurants and a lively village, and an amazing park.

High end resort with nice village. Good variety of terrain for all skill levels.

Simply spectacular place! Great slopes for snow and skiing

My family and I stayed for two nights. The house has 2 rooms, but enough beds. There were ten of us and we were comfortable there. What I liked the most was that we were so close to the spring. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to go skiing and wants to be very close to the spring.

Great ski resort. Great runs.. However, since Vail bought it, it s becoming too expensive. Probably last year for my season pass. $8 for Gatorade?? and same for small cup of fries??? $17 for personal pan pizza?? Ridiculously expensive food. Very greedy!! Worst part is parking. Converted more than half parking into paid parking. If you reach slightly late, you will end up paying $20 for parking as well. I am not even talking about cost of daily ski ticket (~$150) and season pass, which keeps going up every year, more five times the inflation rate.

Wonderful place to stay. Everything you need is nearby, just across the street. Very well kept area and the rooms are beautiful.

One of the most beautiful places to visit in California. The property is magical. The rooms are spacious and grand. The hostess were wonderful. Can't wait to go back in the next few months. I fully recommend to anyone who has vacation time coming up to go.

Currently open I think they have eight trails and four or five lifts operating, That's not a lot of choice and the coverage on the mountain is a bit skimpy not really northstar's fault I applaud them for opening early so people can get going on their season especially with the reservation system. I did have to rent boots as I forgot mine and these boots were wow not comfortable but that's probably more about my feet than anything else generally good service but you can tell that everyone's been told to be very standoffish in terms of helping customers and so forth so it's a bit weird but what are you going to do.

Great ski in lodging and the village is so complete

Visit on 1/2/19. Crowded 13 lift runs in 4 1/2 hours. Many winter break skiers. Good snow and lots of groomed runs. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean facilities and free mints at the lodge next to Comet lift.

Always a nice, laid back experience. I've been going here for years and always love the new ways they make the village feel like home.

Nice ski lodge. Activities for everyone. This was the last season for Mikuni's sushi restaurant.

Spend all the money on the passes, bring kids along for very expensive lessons and you get the luxury of paying for parking! If you have little ones and the bus is not an issue, all is good. If you have to drop 2 kids (3 and 4) off for lessons, better drop Mommy and kids first then go and park. 1st world problems...

Great place to go skiing with the family. The rentals are easy and you can leave your shoes and poles at the gondola overnight. Outdoor ice skating rink is also a highlight.

Large resort with plenty to offer. Service is exceptional

Beautiful place, very suitable for vacation, skiing is great~~

Excellent location with helpful staff and great amenities. I enjoyed my time, and if future visits are this good, I'm hopefully I can upgrade my review to a 5 star!

Beautiful resort . Unfortunately only outdoor dining because of present circumstances .
I really wish they would have had fires going and or the out door heaters. Hey it's winter.man!
