abstract	Northstar-at-Tahoe is a year-round resort situated near the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, approximately 200 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area. The 2,480 acre resort features 2,280 vertical feet of downhill terrain accessed by 16 lifts (including 8 express lifts), a snowmaking system, a cross-country center, the new Village at Northstar, on-site lodging and summer activities including an 18-hole golf course and a lift-served mountain bike park. Northstar-at-Tahoe is undergoing a transformation into a year-round mountain resort including a new village featuring a variety of shops, restaurants, art galleries, jewelry boutiques, luxury condominiums and a 9,000 square foot skating rink. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested to make Northstar a classier resort akin to Vail or Squaw Valley USA. Additionally, mountain expansion plans are underway with new slopes and lifts going in; existing roads are being widened and some new ones are being built; day skier parking has been substantially increased in a brand new parking lot served by enclosed buses (a big improvement over the old tractors pulling skiers in open trailers of previous years); and a Ritz-Carlton and additional slopeside condominiums are under construction and scheduled to open beginning December, 2008, proving the skiing is not the only attraction. More than other Tahoe ski areas, Northstar is known for its excellent tree skiing and fall lines. The extensive trees also make for better sheltered runs with deep powder, compared to the windswept and icy slopes you get at Squaw or Mount Rose. On the other hand, Northstar doesn't have the steeps for which Squaw Valley Ski Resort is known, and it is known to locals as "flatstar". New lifts are going in for the 2006-2007 and 2008-2009 season but on most weekends Northstar's lift lines are comparable to other Tahoe resorts.
