I'm confused.  Northstar isn't right near Reno.  I'm sure there's buses that loop around the lake.

Not many options traveling from south lake to north lake. Take a bus, or a taxi for like a $100, or hitch hike.

Theres a shuttle to North Lake from the airport.  I think its called the North Tahoe express, its spendy but will get you there.

there are actually four main ways too get to tahoe from reno, the fastest way to get to northstar would be 80 to 267, which would take less than an hour, reno to southshore to northstar would be a really round about way to get here

hitchhiking is actually very promising in the North tahoe area.  Especially if you're trying to get to the resorts.  If you ever see a white van or a yellow truck with PORTERS stickers all over them, jump out and really get their attention.  They will more than likely help you out with a ride, at least to the bottom of the resort or so.  Carry some cardboard and a sharpie.  Signs of your destination usually help or having a hot south american chick next to you always helps too.  It worked for me several times when I lived there.
