Northstar at Tahoe
No matter how you like to come down the mountain, you'll find what you like here. Mt. Pluto is the place for the entire family, featuring a moderate pitch, a variety of options, regular grooming and views of Lake Tahoe. For intermediate cruising, Northwest Territory's soft snow is perfect for any skill level to improve. If you are feeling adventurous head to The Backside for 7 uninterrupted 1 mile runs with loads of freshly groomed powder and bumps or spend some time at Lookout Mountain for plenty of steeps, trees and incredible snow quality.
Our terrain park has been rated by TransWorld Snowboarding as one of the Top Ten Best Parks and Best Pipes in the 2006 Resort poll. Acclaimed park designers Chris 'Gunny' Gunnarson of Snow Park Technologies, known for his work on the Winter X Games, Vans Triple Crown and the U.S. Snowboarding Championships, have created an assortment of parks filled with jumps, hips, rails and boxes as well as a 400-foot Superpipe. New to the freestyle movement?
Head to the Burton Progression Park located on Sidewinder. This park allows riders of all ages to test gravity at their own pace with rails and fun boxes inches off the snow and gentle rolling jumps that allow riders to get the feeling of air for the first time. |
