Tahoe Sierra Board of Realtors Installation at The Ritz Carlton

This year, thanks to the generosity of the Tahoe Mountain Club, we Realtors were given the opportunity to hold our annual installation dinner — holiday party at the brand new Ritz Carlton Tahoe on Friday, December 11.  When I say new, I mean we were probably their maiden voyage for this property.  The place had only opened on December 9th.

Needless to say the party was a huge success.  All of us put on the proverbial “Ritz” and dressing to the nine’s (had to get both of those in there), we dined, danced and partied the night away while it snowed and snowed outside.  Some of us took advantage of the offered reduced room rate and spent the night.  I can attest to it first hand, the service is outstanding.  All of the employees are so cordial and helpful.

Some of the notable dignitaries that were in attendance were Al Colhoun — our new board president, Matt Hanson, president elect, Sue Ruane, executive director and Bud Jones, director for life.  MC Ellen Grace kept the program ticking right along so we were able to spend a large part of the evening dancing off our dinners.

Trying to be adventurous, we decided to park our car in the Northstar Village and ride the gondola that services The Ritz exclusively.  I think you can see that the afternoon was overcast and snowy — and, I might add, a little windy.

I am sorry about the photos, I didn’t get real good ones of the inside of the Ritz.  The lighting wasn’t the best and my camera needs to be replaced.  I promise to go back and get some others when I get a new one.

Thanks so much The Ritz and Tahoe Mountain Club — what a great party, great night and welcome to Tahoe!!!

The Ritz Carlton at Northstar At Tahoe

Today’s weekly Realtor tour included a visit to the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Martis Valley which will be opening this December 9, 2009.  Real Estate Professionals were pretty funny looking donning their construction helmets and baggy pants.  A lot of us were totally unprepared and because of strict OSHA rules, we had to have adequate coverage on our legs and feet (some of us unwittingly wore skirts and sandals).   So we had to rely on our host Don Carr who took exceptional care of us — making sure that we were all able to tour the facility.  Such a patient man, he is . . .

The hotel and residences have been in construction for about 2 years and the whole thing is finally coming together.  We looked at some of the residences that will be priced at $2,500,000 – $3,500,000 depending on size and location.   The property which is being promoted by East West Partners, includes 170 guest rooms, 23 private Ritz-Carlton Residences and 25 Ritz-Carlton Destination Club fractional ownership residences.  Offered amenities are ski-in, ski-out with Northstar at Tahoe, a 17,000 square foot spa, concierge service, outdoor swimming pool (also available for winter swimming) and their signature restaurant “Manzanita” which is created by renowned San Francisco Chef Traci Des Jardins.

The building is nearing completion, we were allowed into the facility but had to dress in scrubs and cloth booties so that we would avoid scratching any surfaces or ruining any finish work.  There were workers polishing imperfections out of some of the woodworking (probably places where moving equipment and furniture had bumped up against), touching up handrails, hooking up appliances, light fixtures and planting landscaping.

Again, aren’t we lucky we sell Real Estate in the High Sierras?
