Drove up to Tahoe without stopping, which is a first with the family in tow. Staying in a friend's condo that is at base of the lift area of Northstar so you don't even need to shuttle to hit the slopes. Daughter sprained her ankle last night in SF, so she and I are sitting on the balcony and I am wearing a t-shirt because it is sunny and not cold. Son whose 12th birthday is today is playing in the snow with sleds and snowball makers with his buddy just downsrairs below me. Pretty damn sweet setup. Oh, I will be having a second 21st A. IPA any minute now.
