Kids and adults have easy access to the mountain from the Constellation Residences at Northstar, in Lake Tahoe, California.

This near-exclusive lift is located in the gated development of Martis Camp. Home owners never have to wait in line and the access means no problem with parking and walking through the resort.

Roast marshmallows or enjoy a warm hot toddy around the fire pit located next to the Ritz Carlton.
