Grab the bike or Get a lesson
The family that rides together… Seriously each summer, all I seem to hear about from friends are the family trips to the bike parks. And NorthStar is a perfect set up for elite-level fun for the entire family on two wheels.
With adrenaline-pumping unique features and trails, each day brings the opportunity for new challenges and adventure. From technical descents on local favorites Sticks N’ Stones and Boondocks to anti-gravity opportunities on the jumps of Livewire and Gypsy, Northstar’s Bike Park truly has it all.
Hiking and scenic Chair lift rides up the mountain
Roll out of the resort on to the lift and take the family on a mountaintop adventure. It does not come easier than this. Scenic vista hikes, exploring old-growth red fir forest etc.. Whether you’re looking for the perfect picnic spot with views of Lake Tahoe that have been known to distract visitors from their lunches, or just want to see the mountain from the top without “hoofing it,” scenic chairlift rides are a great way to experience Northstar all summer long. Don’t forget to stop and smell the red firs and white pines, as well as to read the signs about our area’s animals and wildlife.
Golf As Unique as Your Family
When it is time to hit the links, Northstar is well known as a beautiful and unique course offering your family or your team a great summer experience on the greens. 18 holes, 6,781 yards, 4 tee locations, and a 72.4 NCGA rating – all up at 6,000 feet, allowing you to hit the ball 10-15 yards farther than normal (not bad, right?).
Get ready to grip it and rip it on the open, links-style front “Meadow Nine,” and then dial things in on the tree-lined fairways and small greens of the famous back “Mountain Nine.”
Camps
The entire family wins with Northstar signature kids and youth summer camps. These weeklong day camps utilize the expertise of Northstar staff to help your child build a specific skill, interact in nature, make friends, and enjoy the stunning beauty of Northstar mountain!
