Amazing Snow Conditions Add to the Resorts’ Appeal

TRUCKEE, Calif.—After record setting snowfall in March, Northstar-at-Tahoe™ and Sierra-at-Tahoe™ will finish the season strong with plenty of activities to keep guests entertained this Spring. Mid-winter conditions add to the resorts’ appeal with stellar snow and a spring vibe throughout the mountains. From live music to Easter festivities, guests will want to hop over to both resorts and check out all the happenings.

April 10-14—College Week
College students on spring break should drop their books and head to Northstar Resort or Sierra Resort and receive $41 lift tickets when they present current college I.D. This deal is perfect for college students needing a mental break before finals.

April 15—Pinball Rally
Northstar’s signature freestyle event series season finale will offer participants one last chance to throw down on the resort’s signature jibs and jumps. Costing only $10, the event will be held at 1 p.m. on Pinball trail. Registration for the event will be held from 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. at mid-mountain in front of the gondola.

April 16—Easter Celebrations
Northstar Resort will kick off Easter festivities with a fun obstacle race course especially designed for kids at 11 a.m. (participants must have a lift ticket). The mini slalom course will be located off Bear Paw chairlift with hula-hoops to duck through and mini-berm turns to carve around. Prizes will be awarded to all children after completion of the course. Guests who want to combine a great day on the slopes with church on Easter Sunday can attend an interdenominational worship service at the top of Vista Express chairlift at 2 p.m.

For a real challenge, guests can participate in a raw egg toss at 12:30 p.m. The egg toss is open to all ages and prizes will be awarded to the winners. Following the egg toss, Northstar Resort will host an Easter Egg Hunt at 1 p.m. featuring a cameo appearance by the Easter Bunny himself.
