Escape Into The Serenity

Cross country or “Nordic” skiing is the perfect way to spend your day touring the mountains with impeccably groomed trails and endless high alpine views.
Fat Tire, Northstar, California

Like Riding A Bike...

With super-wide snow tires that can trudge through just about any amount of snow, fat biking consistently surprises guests as an activity that is “way more fun than expected.”
Family Snowshoe

Snowshoe with a View

Snowshoeing is a fun way to mix things up on the mountain with tons of scenic trails, sights along the way and infinite photo-worthy moments. The bottom line is, if you can walk, you can snowshoe.

Don’t forget to end your trek properly, with a cup of hot chocolate in hand next to a firepit.
