Jan. 2 2010, Published 4:36 a.m. ET
Elin Nordegren celebrated her 30th birthday January 1 without her husband Tiger Woods.
Elin, her twin sister Josefin and her husband, plus four other close friends have been staying at a luxury chalet in the French Alps. At the stroke of midnight New Year's Eve, they toasted the sisters' birthdays and wished for a better year ahead at a local restaurant owned by Swedes.
It was a milestone birthday to be spending apart from her husband and may indicate just how close Elin is to officially ending her marriage.

Elin and Tiger are used to spending their birthdays together. He turned 34 on December 30 but he hasn't been seen since the SUV crash that set his world upside down.
Since then, a parade of women have come forward and talked about affairs with the golfer.
Tiger has withdrawn from professional golf, and nearly all his sponsors have ended their relationships with him.
