About Northstar
Northstar California sits in the forested hills between Truckee and the north shore of Lake Tahoe, with a pedestrian village at the base. Its slopes are largely sheltered by tall pines, but Sierra storms still bring heavy snow and wind up top. These Northstar webcams show the summit, mid-mountain and the village.
Which Northstar webcam to check first
Start with the summit of Mt. Pluto for wind and cloud up top, then compare mid-mountain. The village camera shows snowfall and activity at the base.
Before you go to Northstar
Check Northstar's snow and weather report and Caltrans road conditions before you go. Chain controls are common on Interstate 80 and Highway 267 in storms.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
