Zephyr Lodge At Northstar - Truckee

They allow you to order with your phone or via a kiosk, and pick up when it's ready. So there is no line to order the food. That saves a lot of your precious ski time.Food: 4/5

Ridiculously slow line at the bar. 20 minutes for 2 beers. The bartender would take someone's order, put out the empty plastic cups on the bar, then disappear into the back for minutes at a time. There were easily a dozen people in line and he was chatting with customers instead of serving drinks.

Which i couldn’t even give this place a star. took about 1 hour and when we finally were ready the fires and chicken were out. and they let people order and gave them fries when they orderd after us. drinks are terrible. most packed lodge of all time. worst lodge on the mountian.

Large lodge where skiers convene for a lunch break or drink. You order by scanning the QR code at each table and pay via phone app. When your order is ready, your number lights up on a digital monitor. You pick up at the window.Food is basically fast food with very limited selections. If you're a season pass holder, you can get 20% off your order.Bathroom is kept very clean. They have outdoor seating. The lodge closes at 3:00 pm.

When you walk out onto the balcony the door's locked behind you. Their staff was aware of it but apparently having their guests unable to bus their tables seems like a good idea to them
