At Northstar California
Gondola laps and jump lines above Truckee.
Northstar’s lifts carry bikes in summer, from the Big Springs Gondola above the village to the Zephyr and Vista Express chairs. Livewire and Gypsy are the signature jump and flow lines, and Sticks N’ Stones and Boondocks bring the rocks. It suits riders who want a polished resort day, with the village, food and lodging at the bottom.
