Northstar Private Ski Lessons

By Janet Fraser 10 June, 2023 2 mins read

Northstar's private ski lessons for kids are a great option for parents who want to teach their children how to ski or snowboard. The range of lessons is available for children from 3 to 14 years.

Northstar provides "magic Carpet" lifts for beginner skiers and snowboarders to get them up and down the slopes as quickly as possible. The range of lesson options is also impressive. From "station teaching", for those who like to learn at a pace that suits them, to advanced clinics, for skiers and boarders, Northstar offers a variety.

There are also some great beginner runs on the mountain. Intermediates can find some challenging runs here. Expert skiers will enjoy the steep and technical slopes.

The resort offers a variety of amenities including a Village that includes restaurants and shopping. There is also a movie theater that plays first-run movies every day. Even a tubing mountain is located near the ice arena on the hill. In the Village, a spa offers massages as well yoga and spa treatments.

A stargazing tour is a family favorite. You can take a guided tour of the night skies while you're on a snowshoeing trip or watching a movie. You can also take a dog-sled tour or go snowmobiling.

Northstar can also provide child care for those traveling with young children. Northstar's Minor's Camp Child Care provides licensed daycare for children from 2 to 6 years old.

A movie theater that shows first-run movies is also available. Other resort-side attractions include ice skating. There is also a little library and a couple of bars. In addition, the Village offers a wide range of shops and restaurants.

Hotel Accommodations

It's easy to reserve rooms or condos in the Village. However, if you are looking for more privacy and want to be closer to slopes, consider staying at one of the midmountain lodgings such as The Ritz-Carlton Northstar Hotel or the Northstar Hotel which is opening in 2022. The Village's parking lot or hotel's lots are the only places to park.

Arrive early to Northstar to ensure you get a parking spot. It's important to arrive early to the parking garage at Northstar to ensure you get a place.

Group Lessons for Beginners and Intermediates

Northstar offers a half-day of group skiing lessons for kids. This Tahoe ski resort teaches children from as young as three.

These group lessons are subject to some restrictions. For example, a maximum of 6 kids can be in the class at any given time, and groups are capped at two instructors per group. These group lessons are more expensive than privates, but they're a great way to save money if your child has limited time on the mountain. You can cancel any group lesson up until 48 hours before its scheduled start time for a 100% refund.

A storage unit can be rented. These units are commonly found outside shopping centers or large hotels. While prices can vary, there are some places that offer discounts for multiple units being rented together.
