Skiing at North Star lake Tahoe

I was so happy today, I was going so fast in those runs down the hill with a big smile on my face! I'm totally rejuvenated :)

Group of friend at North star

We had such a great time. In front of the ice skating at North star.

An other beautiful snowboarding day!!!!

Today was Jessica 5th day snowboarding she progressed a lot but I wish she can break the fear of falling, she felled one time and was ready to give up, I want to encourage her to keep on trying. She said now she will!!
The snow was better than at Squaw but it's still man made snow.
We might come back to North Star tomorrow.

Cocktail hour at the Ritz

We've been riding all day today, filling for a little cocktail. We are at the Ritz Carlton the only one in lake Tahoe.
Took a picture of Santa's Sleigh at lake Tahoe in the lobby.

The smallest kitchen I ve cooked in years

We rented this little studio in Squaw Valley and they said they had a fully equipped kitchen but didn't say it was the smallest!! Anyway funny enough we still cooked some French specialties with lots of melted cheese. Have you heard of Tartiflette?

Après ski

We got a lift tickets discount today because there was only 1 trail open, can you believe it? There is no snow, it was only hand made snow and we managed to go down 7 times on ice :-)
Now that the sun is down it got pretty cold so we are grabbing a little glass "O" wine!!

Mini vacation in Tahoe!

Just arrived we left San Francisco at 530 this morning so beautiful today! the sun is shining. The temperature is chilly but do excited to be in this fresh mountain air!!!

Special pizza at Local Kitchen

Purple potato pizza at my work today!

Amuse bouche

I made a little amuse, with black pepper cracker on top a smoked salmon cream cheese and a slice of persimmon.

We met up with Bryan & Michael Voltaggio last night

Fallow us, join our blog we will be posting pictures here

  
So this was last minute but last night Michael texted me see if we were free to go grab a drink. Everytime he comes to the bay area we like to meet up at Rickhouse Michael loves that place. The Voltaggio Brothers

We were supposed to only get one drink but I think it always end up more than just one.
One of my all times favorite at Rickhouse is the "Laphroaig Project" its a smokey scotch and they use chartreuse lemon juice and more... at Rickhouse, speakeasy cocktails
