yep, northstar is crazy fun but central coast is way better. Face is crazy, If you don't ride tech don't ride Face you will fall and hurt yourself. and once you get on your feet you will slip and fall off some huge drop or rock face. Ride Towers it is actually ridable! northstar is fun and you can bring the kids...... mabye?

We always do Backside first to a lake to the south. East/east side of the lake there is a small trail that leads back to Northstar. Then spend the rest of the day shuttling till we can not stand up any more

Another great version to this is not to take the lift and actually ride up the mountian, itís a 9 mile climb via the service roads (bring your lungs!). Start from the village and make your way up to the second lodge then take the service road that heads to the west. That will lead you around lookout Mt, up by Watson Lk and a paved FS road for about a mile then a left onto gravel that will take you to the Tryumph Tr or take the second left that will climb up to the peak of Mt Pluto - from here itís a cool, less traveled, downhill ride to where the lift is dropping people off or any other run on the mountain.

Great ride! Northstar has done a lot of work keeping up their summer riding program. They've also stepped up the quality of their rental bikes, if you're renting one for the day.

By that time my lungs were aching for air. The elevation got to me. I'll admit it. But it was great riding. One warning, though. When the the sign has two black diamonds on it ... chances are you will be encountering sharp, pointy rocks. But what a rush.
