An interesting post from the good folks over at Luxist. Looks like
one of my favorite Tahoe ski areas is getting a wee more ritzy. The Village
at Northstar is opening/has opened a bunch of new apres ski stuff to make coming off the hill after a grueling day
of moguls that much more enjoyable.
A new wine and coffee bar with fie vinos and Starbuck’s espresso drinks
is here. Seems they will also feature tasting sessions … ah, a fine Sidamo, busy,
but not obstreperous … as well as a boot store called Elite Feet, for the discerning snowboarding
aficionado.%uFFFD Also there will be stores planned for the future like Euro Snack which should serve haute cuisine
French baguette style hot dogs and warm cocktails. Thumbs up, I suppose. I’m glad the ambitions here are measured. I’d
hate to see Northstar go the way of Aspen and other too ritzy resorts.
