Home » America » Northstar at Tahoe
Although much of Northstar's terrain is graded intermediate and easy, there are several steep sections, most notably Lookout Mountain, which added five black-diamond runs, Prosser, Stampede, Gooseneck, Boca, and Martis (named after reservoirs visible from Lookout Mountain) to the area thanks to a new quad a few seasons back. Before that the backside of the mountain and the East Ridge with its short sharp blacks like the chute dropping down from it, were the main advanced ski areas, the former home to the mile long Rapids run, right under the Backside express quad, one of the toughest on the mountain. If you're looking for a long cruiser with postcard-worthy views of Lake Tahoe, take East Ridge to Logger's Loop to The Woods. It's 2.9 miles of gentle intermediate terrain, which offers the perfect warm-up or end to your ski day. Especially since it takes you down the least-crowded run back to The Village. For Off Piste since Lookout Mountain was added to the lift system (it was previously accessed by snowcat, and before '97 only by hiking up), one of the main off piste attractions is no longer technically qualified as such. There are however other powder routes and tree runs which the ski school can guide you to (be wary of going in to closed areas unguided though if you don't want to risk losing, at the very least, your lift ticket). Saw Tooth Ridge offers off-piste tree runs filled with endless powder but is only open when conditions permit. Other than a private hire, Northstar-at-Tahoe offers free ride camps for skiers and riders of intermediate standard and above looking to learn new skills and perfect old ones. U.S. Freeskiing Champion Jamie Burge is based here.
