Lake Tahoe, California's Northstar resort is famous for having some of the best tree skiing around. With world-class terrain parks and sidecountry cat-serviced powder skiing & riding, you may need to relax in the resort's Ritz-Carlton Hotel pool to unwind. On top of a recent $55 million resort village development, Northstar is adding 10% more terrain via a new lift for the 2011/2012 season.

And you just can't beat those Lake Tahoe views!
