Welcome to the Northstar National Ski Patrol Website

  • What sets Northstar-at-Tahoe National Ski Patol apart from all the other fine patrols in the Tahoe Basin? Our energy and enthusiasm; our training programs; our passion for our hill, for patrolling, for our peers. We value the friendships and trust we have built over the years of working, training, and playing together. We are a group that knows how to celebrate together. We wear our crosses with pride, professionalism, a sense of common purpose and shared goals. We promote the Northstar-at-Tahoe theme “A Good Day™.”
