We’ve been able to enhance our programming to include more weekend socials at Tree House, optimize Play Acre and implement some terrific events utilizing the outdoor kitchen and sport court.

At the same time, we are excited to welcome Mountainside Builders as the new management team for the community. The combination of new vision and experienced operators have solidified a bright future for Mountainside. In 2019,

Greetings from Mountainside Builders As the new master developer for Mountainside Northstar, we could not be more excited to play a role in continuing to form this great community. My family and I have been living part time on site and have enjoyed getting to know our owners intimately.

What I’ve come to discover is that Mountainside has drawn together some of the most intelligent and entrepreneurial minds into a setting where people can be themselves and spend quality time with family.

While these are industry titans from diverse walks of life, they are bound together by an appreciation for the outdoors and the laid back lifestyle inherent to Mountainside.

In our short time at Mountainside, we’ve already welcomed the final families to Stellar Residences and Townhomes respectively and look forward to bringing more great people into Boulders in the year to come.

Additionally, we are excited to announce a strategic partnership with Paradigm 8 Partners to begin Phase 2 of Boulders, completing the vision for our most exciting project to date. Beyond these projects, we are looking to create a longer-term land plan for Mountainside that introduces more single-family homesites for custom homes and consolidating density around Tree House.

Our goal is to enhance Mountainside’s position as an inclusive community supported by exquisite homes in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

I look forward to seeing you around Mountainside.

Best regards,

Clifton Taylor President of Mountainside Builders

2019 Event Schedule

MOUNTAIN FAMILY DINNERS When everyone else has left the slopes for the day, we open up the gondola and mid-mountain just for you and your family to explore. The Lodge at Big Springs transforms into a family adventure like no other. You'll be greeted with warm wine and hot cocoa, a healthy and fun dinner spread, ooey gooey s'mores around the fire pits and a professional family picture to remember the night by. Because the best gift is simply spending more time together. All aboard the gondola for this unique dining experience!

PLATINUM FIRST TRACKS Platinum First Tracks almost sounds like a dream when you think about it. The mountain sits meticulously groomed to corduroy perfection, you meet an expert guide who signals for the gondola to power up long before the resort opens to the public and the sun rises while you float down the hill, no one in sight. You hit the bottom of the hill, load back on the lift and again the hill is all yours.

It's the kind of morning where you remember why you love skiing so much, why Tahoe is such a special place. And after the morning of incredible skiing a breakfast spread awaits in Zephyr Lodge where you can fuel back up, but who needs coffee at this point, you just had 2 hours of a natural caffeine kick. It's that type of morning.

summit smokehouse the

gets a fresh new look

Northstar California’s mountaintop culinary experience is transformed after the ski-in, ski-out Summit Smokehouse was renovated physically and conceptually.

Improvements include perfecting the science of slow-cooked meats, taking a stance on environmental standards and serving up a menu you wouldn’t expect at a typical ski lodge.

Immediately noticeable, the indoor seating has increased by nearly 50 percent with a new flare. The dining space features a communal table, poised for shared meals, surrounded by classic family eating spaces and fixtures inspired by the Sierra. The design details left no stone unturned and thought of everything a skier or snowboarder would need to enjoy a meal, including coat and helmet racks placed throughout the restaurant and on chair-backs for ease. On the walls, a regional chalk artist crafted custom murals depicting mountain scenes and honoring BBQ cuisine.

Behind the scenes the Summit Smokehouse is leading the way in waste diversion, minimizing the impact on our beautiful Lake Tahoe environment. By introducing reusable drinkware, on top of continuing to use reusable plates and silverware, the restaurant will cut down on significant tableware waste. The kitchen is also expanding post-consumer composting efforts, the food leftover after a meal is finished, to continue reducing the impact to landfills. Finally, the Summit Smokehouse will be the first Vail Resorts location to not offer plastic bottles, with the exception of water.

In the middle of all the upgrades, some things never change. The Summit Smokehouse remains a mountaintop mixer where Tahoe locals and travelers can rub elbows and celebrate good times at 8,610 feet elevation. It continues to be a place with great food, this time serving smoked macaroni and cheese, pork belly small plates and a fried green tomato that will win the table over. Not to mention the BBQ platters, smoked low and slow for 12-14 hours, with perfectly paired savory, sweet and spicy sauces.

It’s the perfect spot to wait for the Backside to open, have a Bloody Mary or soak up the views from an Adirondack chair outside. With the sweet sounds of country rock and bluegrass, a game of corn hole or dominoes at the picnic table was never more inviting.

The Summit Smokehouse is leading the way in waste diversion, minimizing the impact on our beautiful Lake Tahoe environment.

Low and Slow: The Science behind the Summit Smokehouse Executive Chef Steve Pirro

Nestled at the top of Northstar at 8,610 feet elevation lies a hidden gem. The Summit Smokehouse serves up the finest slow smoked BBQ in the region, embracing the true meaning of low and slow smokehouse cooking. After years of experimentation in brining and smoking, we have developed techniques yielding juicy,

R CHEF STEVE PI

RO

mouthwatering meats that skiers and snowboarders wouldn’t expect out of a lodge.

Most meats absorb the flavor of the chosen wood, Applewood or Mesquite for example, at a low 180 degrees Fahrenheit as a standard rule. The smokers we use at the Summit Smokehouse allow us to separately control the length and temperature of the smoke time from the length and temperature of cook times. This extra layer of control allows us to ensure the meats have the perfect balance of smoke, bark and tenderness beyond the classic standards.

We are big believers in dry rubs. We have painstakingly developed four different rubs that we use on our pork, beef, poultry and specialty meats that bring out the best flavors in each protein. The same process was used to identify which smoking wood accentuates each meat and rub. Whether it be a California fruit wood, a Texas mesquite, or the Hickory that defines our turkey, you can taste the subtle low temperature smoked goodness in every bite. It’s no surprise that our turkey is turning out to be a fan favorite.

Brining is another key element in the smoking process to achieve maximum juiciness in our meats. We brine our turkeys and pork shoulders for two days in two different baths of apple cider, garlic, bay leaves, salt and sugar mixtures. The salt brings extra moisture to the meat while the other flavors slowly seep in — all sealed by the smoking and cooking procedure.

Good BBQ takes time. While you’re sleeping off a great day of skiing, our smokers are running through the night. Our brisket is our longest labor of love with four hours of smoking at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, 10 hours of cooking at 225 degrees Fahrenheit, and an hour of rest to ensure not a drop of moisture leaves the meat. You can taste every bit of the two and a half hours of 170 degree mesquite that flavors our signature tri tip. Even our house KC BBQ and Carolina sauces are a low and slow six hour simmer, marrying the best of regional flavors.

Come up to the top and get a taste of what low and slow tastes like!

YOUR COMMUNITY

Changing Downtown Truckee Take a drive through Truckee and you may realize it’s not exactly as you remember. The eastern-most end of historic downtown changed dramatically with the installation of a new roundabout and traffic pattern on Donner Pass Road. Built as part of the Truckee Railyard project, the new roadway will soon provide access to the long anticipated downtown expansion.

What was once a rail yard at the end of town is being transformed to complete Truckee’s downtown corridor. Offering dense mixed-use space including new achievable workforce housing, restaurants and retail, a grocery, movie theater and more, the Truckee Railyard will double the size of downtown and offer more for both local residents and area visitors.

Construction of the Artist Lofts and the new downtown grocery store space will begin vertical construction in summer 2019, with other spaces expected to quickly follow suit. Although the grocery operator has yet to be named, the movie theater space has been proposed by the owners of the locals’ favorite Tahoe Art Haus & Cinema in nearby Tahoe City. Featuring three auditoriums, the largest will house 199 seats, with two smaller theaters offering 95 and 84 seats each. Similar to how the lakeside business is operated, Truckee residents can anticipate screenings of current feature RAI films, outdoor industry movie LYA RD premiers and the hosting of other community events at the Truckee Art Haus.

Luke Sheppard: A Decade of Leadership at Northstar’s Burton Academy If you ask, Luke Sheppard will probably tell you he’s living the dream.

A career snowboard instructor, the job led him to opportunities around the world early in his career—in destinations like Verbier, Switzerland, Cardrona, New Zealand and Niseko, Japan. Since 2005, “Shep” as he’s known by many of the Northstar team, has been part of the Northstar Ski & Snowboard School, and has had oversight of the Burton Academy since its inception.

In 2008, the concept for the Burton Academy was to use manmade, shaped terrain to reimagine the way instructors have always taught people to snowboard. Shep will tell you he and his team have always been motivated to grow snowboarding participation.

Ten years later, the Burton Academy’s terrain-based learning style has not only proven successful, it has been incorporated into all of

Today, the Burton Academy—still the only one of its kind—is considered to be more like a “university” for snowboarding instruction. Only certified, experienced instructors whose goal is to make people fall in love with snowboarding are part of the Burton Academy coaching team. And, instructors not only help students find the right fit for their snowboard equipment, they consider it their job to fully immerse them into the culture of snowboarding.

This personalized approach has made the Academy a test ground for new ideas and programs Northstar offers; something Shep takes great pride in.

His response when you ask what’s ahead for the Burton Academy in the next 10 years? “I think it’s going to surprise me. We’re continually trying to reinvest and reinvent so we can improve the learning experience and get more people to embrace snowboarding.”

After all, that’s what it’s all about, right?

Northstar is home to the only Burton Academy in the world, an exclusive snowboard academy created by Jake Burton himself. Lessons at the academy include the "terrain-based" teaching system, a revolutionary teaching method using purpose-built snow features to help assist students by naturally controlling their speed when first learning to snowboard. Burton Academy guarantees faster, safer and more confident learning.

DONNER LAKE

Best Place to Camp Donner Memorial State Park If sleeping under the stars is your idea of the perfect summer evening, don’t miss an opportunity to camp at Donner Memorial State Park.

An epicenter for amazing outdoor adventures, when you’re here you not only have direct access to Donner Lake, but hiking, biking, fishing, boating, and more. Located just steps from the historic Donner Memorial and Museum, the campground is open late May through September.

Best Beach for Dogs Patton Landing Located in the heart of Carnelian Bay, the rocky beach at Patton Landing is the area’s most popular dogfriendly beach. One of few beaches at Lake Tahoe where dogs are welcome, if your four-legged friend likes to swim or simply hang out, this is the place to be. Home to Waterman’s Landing beachfront café and paddle sport rentals, it’s also a great spot to grab a cup of coffee or a tasty treat. The only ask: be sure to clean up after your pet.

Carnelian Bay

Beaches & State Parks There’s certainly no shortage of incredible places to explore in and around Lake Tahoe and Truckee. When it comes to beaches and State Parks, there really are perfect places for just about every activity you want to do outdoors. Consider adding these five to your “must visit” list.

L A K E TA H O E

Best Place for a Picnic DL Bliss State Park Whether or not you camp at DL Bliss State Park, day access is permitted for those who want to enjoy the beach area at this popular site.

Bring a picnic lunch, sit and relax on the beach, hike the Rubicon, Lighthouse or Balancing Rock Trail and take in the stunning views.

Fun Fact: From certain points in the park you can see over 100 feet into the depths of Lake Tahoe.

Emerald Bay

Best Beach for Kids Kings Beach State Recreation Area Home to one of the biggest, sandiest beaches in North Lake Tahoe, Kings Beach is the perfect place for kids. A play structure and basketball court, paddleboat, paddleboard, kayak and jet ski rentals offer plenty to keep the whole family entertained, and the shallow waters off Kings Beach mean the water is warm enough to jump in during the summer months. Don’t worry about packing lunch—just steps from the beach you can pick up shave ice or a quick bite to eat from one of the many restaurants in town.

Incline Village

Best Place to Paddleboard or Kayak Sand Harbor Quite possibly the most popular beach in Lake Tahoe, Sand Harbor is home to gently sloping beaches and some of the most stunning landscape in the region. It’s here where you’ll find the iconic rock formations and crystal clear waters Lake Tahoe is known for, making it the ideal place to explore by kayak or paddleboard.

Insider tip: Parking at Sand Harbor is limited. Plan to arrive early or park in Incline Village and ride the new 3-mile Incline to Sand Harbor bike path.

Summer Activities Your Kids Will Love

All Season

There’s certainly no shortage of things to do in North Lake Tahoe and Truckee. For kids (big and small!) who love to be outdoors, here are eight experiences worth checking out.

Winter 30

Truckee Air Show

Truckee Bike Park

Waterman’s Landing Paddle Camps

truckeetahoeairshow.com

truckeebikepark.org

watermanslanding.com

One of the most spectacular free, interactive summer events in the area, the Truckee Air Show has quickly become a family favorite of locals and visitors alike. Between airplane acrobatics, static airplane displays, free flights for kids, vendors and much more, there’s a full day of fun to be had on the tarmac. Mark your calendar—this annual event takes place mid-July and raises funds for local youth programs.

Designed for kids both big and small, the Truckee Bike Park has it all! The littlest riders can build their skills on the strider track, and an XC loop gives burgeoning riders an opportunity to ride from the park on a different type of trail. With beginner, intermediate and advanced lines, and special events throughout the summer season, there are plenty of opportunities to learn and progress.

Summer camp on the water? Yes, please!

Kids who love to play in the water will learn to paddleboard, kayak or use an outrigger canoe will enjoy four fun days on the water when they participate in Watergrom Camps at Waterman’s Landing. Designed for kids ages 7-14 (don’t worry, mom and dad—there are parent paddle camps, too!), summer camps cater to all ability levels and include activities both in and out of the water.

Offered in July and August.

KidZone Museum

Tahoe Treetop Adventure Park

kidzonemuseum.org

tahoetreetop.com

The ideal play space for kids, Truckee’s KidZone Museum welcomes families with young children of all ages and inspires learning through creative play and discovery. Hand-crafted exhibits and hands-on science and art programs help children become innovative thinkers and develop communication, problem solving and collaboration skills. Don’t miss KidZone’s “Family Fun Friday” special crafting events.

If ziplines, rope swings, cargo nets, and wobbly aerial bridges that will test your athleticism are your speed, don’t miss an opportunity to visit Tahoe Treetop Adventure Parks. With three options in North Lake Tahoe—in Tahoe City, Tahoe Vista and Squaw Valley—each park offers guests ages 5+ different self-guided courses that will challenge all ability levels.

These courses will give you an entirely different perspective as you make your way through the tree canopy.

Old Greenwood Pavilion tahoemountainclub.com The center of all the action, the Pavilion at Old Greenwood is one place that is sure to keep the entire family entertained. Yearround kids programming includes activities like nature hikes, scavenger hunts, arts & crafts and more. Who said swimming was reserved for the summer months only? The pool at the Old Greenwood Pavilion is open all year. (The kiddie pool and kids area are open only in the summer.)

Outdoor Ice Skating

Snow Tubing

northstarcalifornia.com

northstarcalifornia.com

When the ski day comes to a close and the kiddos still have energy to burn, there’s nothing like putting on a pair of skates and twirling around the outdoor ice rink in the Village at Northstar. Need a break? Relax in the cabanas that surround the rink, warm up by the fire pits, roast s’mores or sip on hot cocoa while the evening slips away. This is the life.

Kids can still have a blast sliding on snow without skiing or snowboarding. When conditions permit, Northstar California Resort offers lift-served snow tubing on a run punctuated with bumps and berms that is guaranteed to have both kids and adults smiling ear to ear. New this year, Northstar will also offer a hike and slide sledding option on the Overlook in the Village at Northstar.

projects,” Brown recalls. “With the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe as an anchor and the totally unqiue opportunity to ski directly to your door, Mountainside held the potential to be unlike any other Tahoe community.”

From the initial presentation of Mountainside’s marketing, Brown recalls the moment he first saw proof of what the community would become. “Our marketing firm unveiled an image from the perspective looking out a front door of a parent teaching a child to ski between their legs. As a young parent and avid skier, it took my breathe away. To see the community, evolve into this vision is very gratifying.”

As original as Mountainside is to the local landscape, so too is Tahoe Mountain Realty breaking the mold of traditional real estate.

“Our intention is to provide a home for performing arts of all varieties to thrive in the Lake Tahoe area — from our local youth to the world’s top performers.“

Imagine what it would be like to see a Broadway show or watch a well-known artist perform right here in North Lake Tahoe.

Consider the experiences and learning opportunities local kids and children from around the world might have here in the mountains if they were able to participate in an 8-week summer drama camp led by faculty from the University of Southern California.

The idea to build a performing, visual and cultural arts center in the greater Lake Tahoe region is not new. It has long been part of the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association’s vision, but only in the last several years has it truly started to materialize. Enter The Stages at Northstar.

land located near the entrance to Northstar California Resort. The plans feature a 3,500-seat outdoor amphitheater, 150-seat black box theater, 650-seat proscenium theater and 220-seat multi-use room. Once constructed, The Stages at Northstar will be the only theatre complex of its kind and stands to fill a significant cultural gap in the region.

“Our intention is to provide a home for performing arts of all varieties to thrive in the Lake Tahoe area—from our local youth to the world’s top performers.

Meet Aaron Atkins, Northstar Teams Director Once you get him talking about the team of coaches he works with and the goals they have for the youth athletes in their programs, you’ll be immediately swept up in the passion and enthusiasm Aaron Atkins has for what he does. Northstar California’s Teams Director is experienced, confident and likeable, making it easy to understand why the resort’s programs have had marked success since he’s been at the helm.

Atkins grew up in Tahoe, skiing with the Lake Tahoe Ski Club and his dad, a former ski school examiner who was involved with the programs at what was then Ski Incline. He came to Northstar four years ago with a background in race and competition, and a vision for what the resort’s fledgling Teams programs could be.

“Our main goal is to create gold medal athletes in life and sport using Alpine skiing, freeskiing, snowboard and big mountain as the conduit for those life lessons,” says Atkins. Top-level coaches who have competed or coached at a national level were recruited for all disciplines, with an athlete to coach ratio of eight to one to ensure each athlete receives personalized attention. Over the past three years, the department’s retention rate has held strong at over 90 percent, contributing to the overall quality of the program and creating a proud, professional staff.

Atkins doesn’t hesitate when he says the training arena and environment at Northstar is the best in Tahoe. “Thanks to the commitment and collaboration of the mountain operations team, our Teams programs have access to the venues, terrain variety and best snow surfaces available. Being able to control the learning environment in this way gives kids every possible opportunity to improve and grow in their sport.”

With Northstar serving as the home mountain to the current Junior National Champion in Halfpipe, and two female Junior National Alpine skiers who are ranked among the top three in the country, it goes without question that what Atkins and his team are doing is working.

Our main goal is to create gold medal athletes in life and sport.
