Northstar Resort (www.northstarattahoe.com) by Lake Tahoe in California has announced that it will expand the resort boundaries in two areas of the mountain, adding 170 acres of new side-country terrain to the resort's skiable acreage this winter. Guided side-country tours and snow cat accessed skiing and riding will also be offered for the first time to advanced skiers and riders who want to explore the resort's new terrain offering.
"Northstar already had some of the best tree skiing in Tahoe, but with the expansion of our boundaries, skiers and riders will now have access to even more powder stashes and incredible glade skiing," said Bill Rock, Chief Operating Officer at Northstar Resort.
Snow cat accessed skiing and riding will be offered for the first time this year on Sawtooth Ridge, offering unprecedented access to a popular side-country area that was already included within the resort's boundary and previously open to advanced skiers and riders when snow conditions permitted. In addition, guided backcountry tours will be available to advanced skiers and riders interested in skiing or riding outside the resort's boundary on Sawtooth Ridge to a potential area of future expansion, when conditions permit.
