Downhill at Northstar, in Tahoe

I am newer to California and will be lift service downhill riding NorthStar Resort at Tahoe for the first time, Sunday 6/29. I would enjoy meeting up with some other riders!

I will be the “ride leader”, but it would be my first time there. I have ridden Whistler and Mount Bachelor several times. I’m confident on flow trails and have raced an Enduro. But I am fairly mellow and plan to spend most of my time on the “blue” mid-level trails.

Please plan to meet where you buy lift tickets at 10am. I will be on a orange Santa Cruz, 5010.

Notes:
We want a safe and fun ride. This ride is for those with previous downhill experience. You should be confident on "flow" type trails with occasional obstacles and small(~1 foot) drops. You should have minimum a "trail" style full suspension bike with at least 120mm travel, front and rear. I recommend a full face helmet, knee and elbow pads. There will be snacks and water for sale at the lodge, but you should have a backpack with water and snacks for a couple hour self sustained ride. Please bring tools in case there are any mechanical issues.

Ride!
