Mom and Dad can enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne and even order bottles of bubbly to sip while relaxing by the fire pits.
Growing up on the East coast and working in a ski shop throughout college, I always dreamed of skiing above Lake Tahoe. In 2017, I finally realized that dream (we went up there within the first week of calling Danville home). The last couple of years skiing has only been made better by my wife and kids growing to love the sport as much as I do. Our 3-year-old daughter, Penelope, even took her first lessons this year, and has been chirping at us to go back ever since! We love to go up to Northstar with our whole family; everyone finds something fun to do - skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and of course, eating and drinking at all our favorite spots! There are still a few more weekends left in the ski season - so hopefully we’ll hit the slopes again soon!

Taking the gondola up to the mid-mountain Lodge is a fun trip, even if you don’t plan on skiing.
If you don’t have your own s’mores fixings, or are just looking for a tasty treat, Northstar serves daily s’mores bites around the village. We had one (or several...) Nutella flavored ones!
Try planning your ski day around the 2pm mountaintop celebration at Tost. JP loves the kid-friendly sparkling apple cider.
Bring your own s’mores kit! After dinner head down to the (mostly) empty open fires and enjoy the perfect winter treat.
