Personal highlights

  1. NorthStar: decent ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains near Lake Tahoe
  2. Ski Resort: mostly easy - and some steep and fun - slopes through the forest
  3. The Village: cute, but artificial mountain village with stone and wood houses
  4. Season finale: having still enough snow to ride, but it was raining strongly!
  5. Peak restaurant: serving ridiculously expensive food and StarBucks coffee
