Abertsch planned to join StormDay some sking with StormDay on  his birthday.   Caltrans had different plans.

Abertsch finally made it

StormDay didn't seem to notice:

Ran into Freshies (TGR). He seems happy.  It must have been the not shaving.

Quick Lap into Lower 40:

StormDay has some fun in Promise Land

got let the inner 12 yr old out

Abertsch find the whiteroom on the last run of the day.  There is a 6'7" skier in there.

StormDay thinks that 40 is not so bad.

StormDay:  "That is NOT gray!"

Thanks mother nature for an excellent bday present.

The storm door is open.  Happy birthday Brian.

Sweet TR.  I loved Alpine when I skied it for the 1st time last March.  Will be back week of March 22.  Keep the storm door open!

Sweet!  Happy Bday indeed!

We're not here to rough it.....Things are rough enough back in town!

Blower pow at the mountain and back at the traffic jam the trees are loaded down with heavy snow.

Our ski lease is at the Alpine Meadows' condos this year.  Really paid off during X-mas and this weekend.

A few picture from the next day:
