High Camp at Squaw Valley at the top of the Tram
Family vacations outside are our favorite. It is hard to believe that only a year ago the kids were in the saucers and had support going down the bunny hills. Now they are fearless, taking on the slopes. It warms my heart that they have the same love & passion we do for Mother Nature’s glory of fresh fallen snow at the tip top of the mountain.

North Star
North Star is incredible it is an extinct volcano, Mount Pluto. When it last erupted 2 million years ago, it’s lava and mudflows dammed what we now call Lake Tahoe. We’re thankful it created this unforgettable place that our family gets to enjoy. And rest assured, scientists confirm it shows no signs of becoming active again.
What nature created, we continue to enjoy, and hope that it becomes part of your family’s traditions. Northstar is a pristine reserve, hidden in an eternity of trees and quiet valleys. It’s a special place where we focus on helping you find what matters most – time together, rejuvenating calm and the opportunity to become your best self.
