Fodor's Expert Review Northstar California Resort

The area's most complete destination resort entices families with its sports activities and concentration of restaurants, shops, and accommodations. Lodging ranges from hotel rooms and condos to private houses and ski-in, ski-out units. All lodgings come with access to on-site shuttle transportation to and from the Village at Northstar, which connects to the slopes. The rates often include ice-skating passes and access to pools, outdoor hot tubs, and fitness center. Golf, tennis, skiing, and snowshoeing are among the other activities that take place here. Tavern 6330' ($$$$) in the Village serves contemporary California cuisine, with places serving pizza, craft fries, comfort food, and Mexican also in the mix.
