Will try it might be next season wanna get more experienced first.
Not all of the employees are actually lift operators. What they do is when they are understaffed in certain locations they use other employees from random positions on their site but yea I agree with you I can see how that could ruin the fun.
As something to add to these review videos, you could possibly have a “leaderboard” of sorts, so you could see which resort has gotten the best rating so far.
Like PeakRankings
You’re gonna blow up here in a minute bro. The variety of different types of videos and being relatable skill wise vs the pros, really snagged my viewership. Perfect page for the average boarder to get hyped about the next ski trip or just vibe with the homies like I’m right behind y’all 🤙🏽
Have you gone to Sierra at Tahoe? Its really good too
I haven’t yet. This year!
@@JohnathanBuckhouse it’s a must and it’s cheap, 6 or more parks by the end of the year
I have been skiing at Northstar since I was born. I find this video VERY accurate. I think something that you forgot to mention are the lines. Everyone from the Bay Area drives to Tahoe, and I remember lines being up to 40 minutes for 1 run. Northstar also has 2 "runs" that rarely open; sawtooth ridge, and snow rabbit. Sawtooth is definitely a fun run, as barely any people ever go (it also on usually opens on pow days) and there are a lot of trees. Snow rabbit is a tiny bowl, and it opens more than sawtooth ridge, around 3-4 times a year. (I don't know exactly because if it is a powder day, Kirkwood squaw, or heavenly are you best bets for good riding) and sawtooth ridge opens a maximum times of once per year I think. I have only seen it open once when I have gone to the resort. I am SO hyped for you to make one on Kirkwood and Heavenly, as I grew up skiing those too. PLEASE include if the resort is usually busy, or if there are long lines.
I think it's white rabbit. I've seen it open a handful of times in the 10 years I've lived here. Very rare though. It doesn't hold snow well at all
it also gets really slushy after like 12 and only parts that are worth to repeat is the golf courese@@weirdbeard1980
Update: Skied it a bunch last year. It's like being on a different mountain. Maybe a little bit like certain parts of Heavenly. Definitely one of the better areas on the mountain if you can get it on a pow day.
Northstar is where you go for parks. If you want steeps/gnarly you goto Kirkwood. If you want great tree runs with a sick view of the lake you goto Heavenly... this is of course if you are going to stick to the Vail resorts. I recommend checking Sierra At Tahoe out if you are in the area.
Would agree to that, but Heavenly's Killebrew canyon and Mott canyon are pretty fun and gnarly as well.
Dude thanks for adding this! I 100% agree with you one the vail mountains!
@@Pizoo I hope to ride them this year!
Squaw Valley is great too
Sierra at Tahoe has some gnarly terrain, great prices, low crowds, is close to South Lake Tahoe, and has been ranked as some of the best tree skiing in the world. Head there!
Awesome parks too
@@ryannox4 sad it’s closed this season
I've been skiing the Rocky Mountains for all my life and want to try something in the Tahoe area. This really helped, thank you!
And I’ve been snowboarding Tahoe all my life! And wanted to know more about the Rocky Mountain resorts! Trading info here!
@@emcee2555 From my experience Steamboat is one of the better ones, but it's out of the way from the typical I70 corridor. Along I70 there is: Vail, Beaver Creek (highly recommend this one if you've got some money burning a hole in your pocket), Copper, Aspen, Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin, Winter Park, Loveland, and a few others. All of these are good resorts but they fill up quickly on the weekends from all the powderhounds in Denver and the front range. Telluride is another good one, and again it's off the beaten path so not as many people will be there. Airlines (Southwest and Jetblue) and starting service to airports that are within 30 minutes of Telluride and Steamboat from the East coast, Dallas, and Denver. I hope this helped a bit, if you have anymore questions feels free to shoot away!
Squaw Valley is the best in Tahoe
Better off going to Sugarbowl. Cheaper and way more snow, epic chutes, cliffs and bowls. Squaw Alpine is the best resort in the area, but gets busy. Sugarbowl during the week (non-holidays) has a real local type vibe.
Tahoe has 3 of snowiest resorts in the whole of the US:
7- Kirkwood
8 - Sugarbowl
9 - Squaw Alpine.
@@Kthomasritchie Thanks! I've got an epic pass so my main resorts I'd want to go to are Heavnly, Northstar, or Kirkwood. Funny story, my mom broke her knee at sugarbowl. To say she never wants to ski there again is an understatement! Thanks for the recommendations!
Just got back from my trip, went to Heavenly and Northstar. Had a blast here!! Prob my new favorite resort
Heck yeah! I love to hear it.
You are uniquely qualified to review all of these ski resorts having been to so many and having all this footage! Love the scores, perfect to quantify the experience a little. Please continue with this and become the #1 name in reviewing ski resorts in the US!
Thank you so much for the feed back! It means so much to me on the new series. I am will keep the video coming.
Love the reviews so far! Should throw a highlight reel at the end highlighting runs/terrain or a link to a previous video at the resort. Give a general idea of the resort. Just some raw footage of snowboarding! Who doesn't love to watch some shredding.
Totally! So right now I am making these with all my old videos that are already edited. Going forward I will film with these videos in mind. They will keep getting better 🤘🏼 Thanks for the feed back brother 🙏🏼
Yooo
I love Northstar, always will, but it’s was way better before Vail. They had a joint Pass with Northstar, Sierra at Tahoe, and Kirkwood. Those were the days.
Dang! I always hate hearing things like that.
These are my favorite types of videos you make
Yes! Stoked your enjoying!!!
You gave Northstar the same score for terrain that you gave Mountain High? 😂 The trails on Northstar backside are over a mile of steep fall-line skiing. No high alpine terrain but geeze… seems like Northstar should get some points for that.
Looking back, do you think North Star is really only 15 points better than big snow? Those resorts seem like they are night and day. Good video as always
They are definitely different but think about how special big snow is! It is the only snow dome on this side of the world! that played a part in the score.
you coming to squaw/alpine this year? i wouldn't say you can rank the tahoe resorts without spending some time at the mothership
Squaw is godly.
@@Pizoo i live in alpine meadows :)
That view you weren't sure about is Martis Valley and out towards bocca resevoir. Only a couple little place at N* where you can see the lake and it's more of a peek-a-boo view
Thank you 🙏🏼
Have you ever been to Sugar Bowl Resort ? if not check it out its like a little squaw valley with out the big mountain vibe
I haven't been there but I hope to go!!
Flatstar lol but I love Tahoe!! Used to ride/work at homewood, Would like a video review of that if they are still open. Thanks for the review super useful!!
I basically learned to ride there. Definitely family friendly and the village run is super flat. The backside on those super icy mornings were dicey. I haven't really had much time in Mt Pluto or in that Sawtooth area.
Yewww
Homewood is fun. Great views as well.
Was waiting for somebody to say flatstar. Mount Rose blows this place off the map.
Aww my old workplace, you even got a shot of Ole John scanning you in. Too bad new management has ruined the experience for me working there. Gonna miss the food at Los Arcos as well.
Thanks for the detailed video! Can you do a “Terrain parks comparison in Tahoe? “ It will be great if you could include how is the lift access/ typical lift wait times to the park lifts. Cheers!
Super detailed insight but I have one criticism with the rating system:
If you're gonna rave about how amazing something is, such as the chairlifts, and then give them an 8, it would be helpful to know what you think they're missing in order to not get a perfect score. It kinda sounded like they have a million chairlifts with so many options that sometimes they don't even need to run all of them, so what could they possibly do better to get that 10? Talking about how amazing something is and then giving it a lower than perfect score makes the overall rating system seem like arbitrary numbers.
Sadly Mt. Rose Ski Resort raised their prices, so I'm getting the epic pass this year instead. These videos are getting me hyped for next season.
p.s. I would love to see you review the Mt. Rose chutes next season! It might be hard because we hardly have enough powder to keep them open, but some of my best runs ever have been in the Chutes!
Mate - we have followed you on youtube for a while now. BUT we are lanning a trip to the USA (in AUstralia) and we are finding your maps/vblogs etc awesome. Thanks so much for doing this... legend mate - would love to see you in OZ reviewing our slopes.
One question. Transport from Truckee to Northstar? TART run busses, are they boarder frinedly, can we take our baords ont he bus and are they super crowded. Going to Northstar Jan 8 for 4 weeks.
Keep it up mate, you are very greatly appreciated.
Team Yollata
I've been going to Northstar most of my life. I agree with everything you said, except one thing I would add is that there are plenty of places to go fast. I got an IKON pass last year and spent most of the time at Squaw, and among many other things, that is something I notices is that there really isn't much terrain there where you can just haul ass.
I appreciate the great review! I’m heading up to Northstar this morning. Also, Go Pack!
Pleasseeeee do a review on diamond peak, it’s a smaller resort but it’s got the best snow in the best place and the best prices with the best view in Lake Tahoe! That’s a bold statement, I know, but trust me you will agree if you go there!
Hey man I love your reviews. Do you think you could do one of telluride?
Totally!
Also, at the end of the review you should pull up a table with all the different resorts, or make a google spreadsheet with all the different resorts so that we can compare them, kinda dougdemuro dougscore style.
I agree
Luv ur resort reviews , seems like a great bunch of vids that folks will keep coming back to.
The main trail conditions are usually pretty consistent. But you would have to research it. Like in the west there TENDS to be less ice as compared to the east coast, just cuz of the air and elevation and wind
Totally man!!!
Ooh my home resort! My beautiful beloved Northstar. I am super biased but I’ll say one thing, Colorado and Utah has better snow - it’s dryer and there’s more of it.
Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows is really close to Northstar, but they generally get more snow. Sugar bowl is also a very cool resort in North Lake, and it’s really “cheap”. Boreal is a tiny little mountain, but it’s pretty fun too, and they have Woodward there so it attracts all the really sick grimy boarders. I just love Tahoe so much, especially North Lake because I’m from Sacramento and the drive is much less treacherous.
I’m from Sacramento as well! It’s true that Colorado and Utah probably have better snow, but don’t you remember the last few seasons we had in NorCal? Squaw Valley was open until July and Mammoth was open until August.
Hey this is my local resort. Good vid
Heck yeah bro! Stoked you enjoyed
One of guys I deployed to Afghanistan with while I was in the NV national guard, was at the time the Director of Mtn Ops at Northstar, I need to get a hold of him and see where he’s at now!
That’s sick! You should totally do that!!
Have you ever ridden Okimo or will you ever review Okimo. It’s not the biggest mountain but I’ve always found the experience of going with freinds to this place is something amazing
I haven't been there yet, I hope to go soon!
Will you review Tulluride?
You know it!
Northstar is open already ??
No this is older clips
If you have never check out new Mexico ridding, some check out Taos and Ski Santa Fe, They have some incredible steep terrain and Santa Fe's trees runs and views are world-class imo!!!
The STAR BABY!! by far funnest resort in Tahoe. If not busy lol The Stash Park! ughh can’t wait!!!!
I have always had issues with the stash not being made when I visit. Its super sad bit I love NS
Can you do Park City, planning a trip there this season
Oooooo I think I can! I have gone there a lot
These reviews are such a great idea!
Thanks sis!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My dad works at Northstar dude sick place to shred and have fun and in the summer bike park hell yqh dude
Can you van/truck camping at the resort?
NO not this one.
Go to Palisades Tahoe and alpine also sugar bowl.
You should check out Diamond Peak in Tahoe, I go there once or twice year
I will maybe next year!
you want the best park in North Lake Tahoe go to Boreal / Woodward Tahoe
That is actual facts.
This season man!!!!
@@JohnathanBuckhouse try to come on one of the first Fridays of the month
tickets are only $25 9AM-9PM
Tahoe is suppose to ramp down their park bro
I heard all vail mountains this year will have smaller packers
Do Mt. La Crosse in WI! Love this series & would love to see what you rate the hills / mountains I ride
Hey, love the videos but have a question for anyone familiar with the Tahoe registration. My friends abs I are doing our first 3 day to the Tahoe area and we all have epic passes. We are staying at heavenly but I want to do our first day at Northstar since we are flying into Reno the night before our first day of skiing and do days 2 and 3 at heavenly, some of the guys think all 3 days at heavenly would be the move. What would you recommend? Is 2 days enough for heavenly or should we just do all 3 days at heavenly? I’d rather hit 2 resorts but don’t if it’s worth it or if heavenly will need 3 days. Thanks for the help y’all.
Maybe we can ride together next time you're in California! I'm on epic as well and ride Northstar, Kirkwood, and Heavenly! Northstar is my favorite of the three, but I definitely need to get in more days at the other two!
Hey bro, nice video but Tahoe area....Squaw and Kirkwood in that order and slightly heavenly, but only on the Nevada side. Squaws terrain, untouchable compared to all the other resorts in Tahoe, but to each his own.
Man I sent an email in before prices got steeper basically confirming I was there to buy it at the cheaper date, they were supposed to email me back to buy the pass and they just did yesterday saying to call, but the call center was closed still so idk what to do 😭
Dude they are a mess right now! I need to call them too
I don't want to say that the views are bad but East ridge on vis is beautiful.
Went mountain biking here, it’s a cool place
That’s sick! I need to do that!
Everybody smash the like button and leave a simple comment. It really helps Johnathan, Bobbie and Roman out a lot. Thanks.
It would be insane to do every resort in the US. I love these videos keep them coming!
Heck yeah bro! Stoked you enjoy the videos. It’s going to take some years but it’s going down
Just went to troll and broke my wrist first trip to the mountain rip
Nooooooooooooo!! I hate to hear that 😭 Get better soon!
Have you ever been to Mt rose? It’s not a very big ski resort but I think it’s very good. I’ve been going there for years subscribed live in Reno.
Muffin,muffin is Right...
The lines are a beast on Holidays and saturday and sundays...go during the week day if u can....
Other then the lines the park is Awesome 👌
Keep the videos coming bro,
Stoked you enjoyed the video man 🤘🏼
Go to Homewood, also at tahoe
My ski hill isn’t open yet
I am pretty sure most people's resorts aren't open yet either.
hopefully soon!
@@JohnathanBuckhouse you are lucky you get to go to the mountain I go to Chicopee ski hill search it up
I have a cheap walmart snowboard but I'm trying to get better and then getting a better one.Nice video by the way!Have you been to Buck hill minnesota?I want to go there someday!
Look at a thrift store for a new board. Sometimes you can find a good one. I haven’t been to buck hill but I will go this season!
@@JohnathanBuckhouse I will check it out maybe!Thanks!

Can you review Loveland?
Yes i can!
I wanna go to northstar so bad
Dude thanks for becoming a member! I hope you make it this season!

I love Kirkwood!
@@nrocobc581 I’ve only ridden the main side like the wall

Great idea. Resort review rules
you should come to new zealand some time and review one of our ski fields. they are definitly not as good but it would be cool because i live here idk lol
Definitely planning on it!! It’s a dream to get out there!
Can you review one of Mt good resorts? Timberline meadows or ski bowl??
Yes. I am heading out there this winter so I can make one. Timberline will get two reviews. A winter and summer review
@@JohnathanBuckhouse sweet! That’s my home mountain and it would be cool to see some peoples opinions on it compared to other resorts as I have never been to any besides mt hoods
You need to go to stowe
I do!! Your so right
Northstar is one of my home resorts!!
That’s awesome bro!
do mammoth next lol (if u been there)
I am pretty sure he has and I would be down to see it. Lets see... 10 on everything? xD
I have to ride it some more! It will happen!

Can't wait to go to northstar!

That half pipe goes on forever.
Right!!!
The best resort in Tahoe is squaw/alpine
Cannot wait to ride there again!
Dude, seriously, you need to redo this review. You gave ELDORA a higher score than Northstar. What were you thinking? 😂
Hahaha I will look into that 😂
Dude there denied me water when I was sick and point his finger in my face and said he was going to kill me because I dropped my empty cup and walked out
Nice video's..
bruh if you want big mountain terrain just go to kirkwood or squaw
