"Mountainside’s Play Acre is designed specifically for kids, creatively blending nature, imagination, and outdoor play. Located just steps from all of Mountainside’s on-mountain properties, families can walk to Play Acre without crossing or walking along roadways. This unique kid space lives within the landscape, and features natural play structures connected by a network of log and stone crafted trails. Stone steps reach the top of a 30-foot stainless steel slide that follows the natural terrain. Log and boulder scrambles let kids test their climbing skills, while an outdoor amphitheater with stage, tiered stone seating, and oversized instruments offers a venue to make music or entertain an audience."
"Take the lift or a quick stroll down to Northstar Village, an all-seasons escape with a dozen dining choices, excellent shopping, a movie theater, and even a full-service wellness center, offering everything from healing sports massages to indulgent facials, yoga sessions and more. The Village also keeps a packed schedule of family-friendly events throughout the year, including group stargazing, retro ice skating nights, mini-golf tournaments, music."
"Nestled into a spectacular rock outcropping, the studio provides owners a serene space for yoga, meditation and stargazing taking in the mountain’s natural surroundings. The studio includes a southern exposure deck with foldaway doors opening to a tranquil mountain sanctuary. Download the Mindbody app and click on our studio, Mountainside at Northstar, to view the latest on schedules and register for classes."
Please note that during the Spring and Fall seasons, when Northstar's winter and summer mountain operations are closed, the Highlands Gondola, Village restaurants and retail outlets run on a modified schedule. Expect limited, or closed, dining and shopping options during these periods - typically between the end of ski season through late June and after Labor Day through mid-November.

Lights Out: All exterior lights that are not needed for safety must be turned off between the hours of 10pm-7am, seven days a week. Per the Ordinance: All exterior lights that are not needed for safety or other outdoor use must be turned off to the extent that such other outdoor use is not an unreasonable nuisance to neighbors.
Red Flag Warnings: Due to extreme fire danger, bonfires, charcoal barbecues and wood-burning fire pits are strictly prohibited. On Red Flag Warning Days, when fire hazards are especially dangerous, typically due to dry conditions and high winds, additional restrictions are imposed by the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and prohibited. You cannot use outdoor gas grills or gas fire pits during Red Flag Warnings. All outdoor fires are prohibited, both gas and wood. It is your responsibility to be informed of Red Flag Warnings. You will see signs on the front of all fire district stations, hear about it on the news, see it on social media and hear about it on the radio.
Winter Driving Many highways, access roads and/or driveways are steep in Tahoe/Truckee and may be icy in the winter. To ensure your safety, it is critical that during November 1st - April 30th brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires need to be properly inflated and the tread must be in excellent condition. Always carry tire chains, even if driving an AWD/4WD vehicle. Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You may find valuable winter driving tips from the CHP.
Summer Patio Furniture Patio furniture is available for your use during summer months only. All outdoor tables, chairs and loungers are put into storage in the fall, in order to protect the furnishings from winter weather. Barbecue grills, however, do remain outside for your enjoyment.
Be Bear Aware Black bears are very common in this area and have become habituated to human food and garbage. Because bears no longer have a strong fear of humans, you may encounter bears during your spring, summer and fall stays. Feeding bears is illegal. Leaving food outside, trash accessible, or doors and windows unlocked is likely to cause significant property damage to homes and to vehicles. Please take a moment to learn how to be Bear Aware, so that we can continue to live in harmony with our wildlife.
