About Northstar California
Northstar California on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe is the most polished and family-oriented resort in the Tahoe basin, with a pedestrianised village at its base that closely resembles a European ski-in, ski-out resort in its layout and ambience. The terrain is predominantly intermediate and lower-advanced, with wide, immaculately groomed blue runs and a thoughtfully designed beginner area that makes it an ideal first resort for children and adult learners. The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe sits slope-side, setting the accommodation tone, and the resort's consistent snowmaking investment means it opens reliably early in the season. For families seeking comfort, convenience, and gentle but enjoyable skiing without the crowds of South Lake Tahoe, Northstar is the natural choice in the region.
