Truckee, CA –Northstar California Resort is calling all s’mores enthusiasts to participate in S’moresapalooza in the Village at Northstar this weekend. An event first at Northstar, S’moresapalooza will feature a s’mores eating contest, s’mores stacking contest – to see who can build the largest s’mores stack – and a mass s’mores roast around the fire pits in the Village at Northstar. Resort guests are invited to participate in the festivities, scheduled to take place Sunday afternoon.

“Our guests continue to tell us that they’re enjoying being here thanks to the amount of terrain we have open on the mountain, as well as the variety of activities available for them to enjoy in the Village at Northstar,” said Bill Rock, chief operating officer at Northstar. “We thought it could be fun to take advantage of the fire pits that surround the skating rink in the Village at Northstar and the s’mores tradition that’s been developed at Northstar. With the activities we have planned, we have to warn you – this is going to be fun to watch, and it will get messy!”

Sunday’s S’moresapalooza activities include:
