TIPS FOR A GOOD DAY ON THE SLOPES
Traveling around the holidays can be stressful. Here are a few tips to alleviate the stress and have a fun day on the slopes.

 

1. Take advantage of Northstar Resort’s complimentary shuttle service.

Don’t worry about driving. Northstar Resort offers convenient on-site shuttle service to lodging guests and self-park customers. And, guests staying nearby can board one of Northstar Resort’s complimentary shuttles servicing North Lake Tahoe, Reno or Truckee and be dropped off and picked up at the Village entrance.

2. Take advantage of Double Whammy ® season passes, multi-day and discount lift ticket options.

With Double Whammy passes starting at just $439, the pass pays for itself after only six visits. Northstar Resort also offers a variety of discount lift ticket options including multi-day lift tickets, and more. Visit www.NorthstarAtTahoe.com for details.

3. Ride the Village Express to mid-mountain.

Skip the Gondola line and get an extra run in by taking the Village Express chair. This high-speed quad is located behind the Gondola building and quickly drops guests off at mid-mountain in minutes.

4. Make reservations for child care and private lessons in advance.
