TR: Alpine 1/23/10 - Went for scraps got fresh.

Alpine Meadows,CA

Expectations: Low we missed the powder day. Only expected soft snow scraps.

Plenty surprised by the light to moderate snow all day with light to moderate winds.

Skiers: StormDay, MrsStormDay, Abertsch, non Mag friend Mike (snowbroader), Little Miss StormDay #1, and Little Miss StormDay #2.

photog: Abertsch and StormDay

It was snowing in the parking lot when we drove in. Estelle, Beaver and High T closed - Plan for the day was going to have to change (well maybe not )

Drop the kids off to team and headed to areas we hope to find soft snow in.

The group's mood was very good at this point.
