Overall 3.5 Based on 17 votes and 5 reviews
Northstar has beautiful runs and great views. On the negative side, the management of access to the resort is terrible. Long delays to park a car (in remote parking lots), even ski buses (often) have to park in remote parking lots. It takes a lot of time to get in and out of the shuttles, and there are even lines for the shuttles. Even on weekdays, such delays getting skiers to the gondola occur. This leads to shorter times on the slopes. Ambience and food quality in the lodges is another negative (bad food sold at exorbitant prices).
