“The introduction of The Backyard Bar & BBQ gives resort guests and skiers and riders at Northstar California the opportunity to enjoy new mouth-watering menu selections immediately as they step off the slopes,” said Joseph Mattioli, general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe. “With stunning views of the mountain offered from the back patio and daily après ski specials, it is sure to become a new favorite spot to stop for lunch or end the day on the mountain.”
