Ready for a sneak peek into the Northstar California Ski & Snowboard School? ❄️✨
Our first day on the mountain was an absolute dream, and I honestly can’t imagine doing it any other way. Staying at the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe made the entire learning experience so effortless—it’s the ultimate “easy button” for families getting their mountain legs! 🎿
Here is why the Ritz + Northstar combo is a total game-changer:
•The Ski Sherpa Experience: The Ritz’s Mountain Concierge + “Ski Sherpa” is a lifesaver. They store your equipment, carry your skis, and set them right on the snow for you. You have the option to take their fun off road shuttle down to mid mountain where the ski and snowboard school is located. When you’re finished, just glide back to the hotel and they whisk your gear away. No lugging equipment through the cold! 🙌
•True North On-Site Rentals: We didn’t even have to leave the hotel to get geared up. True North is located right inside the resort, offering premium equipment and professional fittings for all your ski and snowboard needs. 🏂
•World-Class Instruction: My daughter and I jumped into group ski lessons while my son opted for a snowboarding lesson to master the board. After a full day for the kids and a productive half-day for me, our confidence was through the roof!
•The Green Run Guarantee: This is Northstar’s promise that after three lessons, you’ll be able to navigate a green run, or your next lesson is free. It’s the perfect way to ensure the whole family is mountain-ready without the stress. 🏔️
By day two, we were officially ready to take on the slopes all on our own!
⛷️ This trip has become a true core memory for us. If you’re looking for a luxury winter break with zero stress, this is it!✨
