So One of the things I got to do while back home was hit the slopes again after many years! With patient training from one of my closest friends Lisa and my little brother BJ, I was able to get up on the board and get down the hill without falling! (this is after 2 really hard falls in which my bruised butt cheek is still recovering).
We were lucky enough to stay at the uber luxurious and brand new Ritz Carlton in Northstar. A Beautiful new property with mystique in the works.
We were also lucky enough to be able to dine at Manzanita, Chef Tracie Des Jardin's new project headed by executive Chef Reylan Augustine. A talented up and coming chef who started his fine dining career in London at the Savoy Grill with the GRH group, Chef Reylan incorporates old tecnhniques, new flavors and local ingredients. The winter menu- a warm and toasty menu with traditional components to give that comforting tahoe "homey" feeling. Also noteworthy is the open kitchen and brick pizza oven. Thank you for a wonderful meal Chef Reylan and Chef Dylan!
Hopefully I'll be able to hit the Swiss Alps now without this happening too much!
