Northstar @ Tahoe

Last week I went to Northstar @ Lake Tahoe. Here are some pictures I took.
I went with AC, a guy I’ve known since kinda, Nathan, who is a friend from school’s brother (Caggas) and Gav, a Melbournian who works up here. We left about 6pm in the evening on Tuesday. It took a few hours to get there. I can’t really remember how long. Anyway, we stayed the night at “The Block” which is a snowboarder’s hotel. It was really sweet and only cost $20 a night. Tahoe is half way between California and Nevada. There’s a street where one side on the road is in Cali and the other is in Nevada, it was very cool. We went to a casino in Nevada (there are no casinos in Cali) on Tuesday night. It was a lot of fun……I came out $5 on top which was good…..I was down a bit at one stage.
The place we stayed was in Lake Tahoe so we had to drive to Northstar in the morning on Wednesday. It took around 45 minutes. Apparently there’s like 10 or so resorts in Tahoe……I’m not exactly sure how many there are but I was amazed at how big it was. The town is huge and a lot of the resorts are meant to be big. Northstar wasn’t huge but it was very very nice and it had an awesome park.
The drive to Northstar in the morning was beautiful as you can see from the photos. The lake is gigantic, it looked like an ocean some of the time.
Theres some pictures of the village at Northstar which is undergoing a lot of construction at the moment and also of the trip home.
