Concierge Pick: Skiing and Snowboarding

Northstar is home to epic annual snowfall, and its 97 ski trails spread across over 3,000 acres comprise a proper winter paradise. The east-facing terrain helps to protect Northstar's trails from the elements, and its wide array of glade skiing and pipes, some of the best snowmaking in North America, as well as its impressively groomed network of lifts, make this the ideal mountain resort for families and beginners.

"Whether you're a seasoned skier or you're looking for beginner-level instruction, Northstar offers spectacular skiing and snowboarding conditions that are perfect for families." - Northstar Destination Concierge
 

Inspirato Recommends: Snowshoeing

Experience the raw natural beauty of Tahoe on a snowshoeing excursion on the mountain's scenic trails. You'll find state-of-the-art equipment at the Cross-Country, Telemark and Snowshoe Center, and whether you take a guided tour or tackle the mountain on your own, you'll enjoy sweeping panoramic views as well as indulgent warming stations along the way. It's an alpine adventure you'll never forget.
 

Member Favorite: Ice-Skating

Set in the heart of the Village at Northstar, the town's picture-perfect, 9,000-square-foot ice rink draws a steady crowd of families, beginners and expert ice-skaters in the winter months. Lace up a pair of rental skates or bring your own, then linger after dark when the surrounding fire pits offer the perfect place to warm up - and roast marshmallows, conveniently available at True North nearby.

"We loved the ice rink in the Village! It was a great place to wind down with the kids after a long day on the slopes."
