What is the group rate (average) for northstar?

Northstar adult group rate for one day lift ticket is $57 for 2010 season. That’s $22 off the regular rate. We’re going for two days, so the group rate for 2 days should be $107.

Is the hotel accommodation single or double occupancy? What if I sign up by myself?

is there a lesson package available for some friends of mine?

Yes. We get group rate discounted lesson packages too. I tried to lookup the price on northstar’s website, but the page is broken.

How ’bout discounts on cross country skiing lessons and/or tours?

Rooms are double occupancy, but if you sign up by yourself, we will pair you up with some one of the same gender. The rooms have two full sized beds.

If cross country skiing lessons and/or tours are available, I’m sure there are discounts available if offered by Northstar. When we arrive at Northstar, we go to the group window and buy all the lift tickets and packages. For special requests, it would be best if you went with the tour leader to the group window to discuss exactly what you’d like.

I’d like to arrive on the BART to the El Cerrito Community Center. Is anyone in the area going to be close to the two BART stations and would like to offer a ride? I see El Cerrito Norte and El Cerrito Plaza BARTs are about a mile from the center. Chuck (Trip 3 Northstar)
