LODGING Option in Tahoe: NASTC has partnered with the Cedar House Sport Hotel in Truckee (530-582-5655) to offer you the complete ski couse vacation package. The fusion of these two entities couldn't be more appropriate. While NASTC is styled after the European ski school model, CHSH was inspired by the intimate hospitality found at smaller family-run hotels in the Alps. Both companies are fun by a husband/wife team, and place heavy emphasis on one-on-one guest relations.
