...A winter escape just six miles from the lake, where the emotional highs match the altitude. The rush of riding Ground Zero or cruising the terrain features. The thrill of blasting through the powder. The satisfaction of perfecting your skills with a free Vertical Improvement clinic (level 6 and above). But there's more to the season than days of skiing and riding. Introducing Polaris Park: our out-of-this-world playground where you can try everything that's new on the snow...after dark. Tubing, snowboarding, snowmobiling...then reliving it all around the campfire. Northstar-at-Tahoe days and nights. It's all kinds of fun!

What's Hot:
- Lookout Mountain, 200-Acres of New Terrain
- Northstar debuts 200-acres of new, advanced terrain accessed by a high-speed quad Mountain Express. Lookout Mountain includes snowmaking capabilities, a vertical drop 1,200' and five diamond runs: Prosser, Stampede, Gooseneck, Boca and Martis (named after reservoirs visible from Lookout Mountain). Lookout Mountain is the biggest terrain expansion at Northstar since the opening of the backside in 1983.
- 17' Superpipe
- Northstar this season is home to the new HPGR-17 superpipe cutter. This high tech cutter will enable Northstar to shape a 17' superpipe, the size used in many professional snowboard events. In addition to the superpipe, Northstar will also feature a standard halfpipe. Both will be located at the Ground Zero terrain park.

- Expanded Ski/Snowboard Rental Shop and New Equipment
- Skiers and snowboarders renting equipment will find ease and convenience in the new rental shop. In addition to an expanded facility, the rental shop will be automated. Guests will fill out their rental form on computer terminals located at the front of the shop. This information will be saved for the season enabling rental shop personnel to pull up a guest’s profile each time he/she rents equipment from Northstar. Additionally, automation allows for guests to reserve equipment and pick it up in a holding area located adjacent to the gondola. The rental shop will also feature a new inventory of Dynastar "Agyl" shaped skis and snowboards, and the state-of-the-art Snowell tuning machine that allows for custom precision tuning of skis and snowboards.
