Snow Day For My Sole and Spirit

My Sole and Spirit,

Are nudging me.

They want a day off,

To the mountains to ski.

 

To hop in the car,

And drive to the North.

A few hours away,

To get to the slopes.

 

So, I checked the web site,

For the conditions.

Sole and Spirit hoping,

Fingers crossed, wishing.

 

I checked Loon Mountain,

Cranmore and Cannon.

Gunstock and Waterville,

Sunapee and Ragged.

 

A lot of open trails,

And lifts, it looks good.

But, what’s bumming me out,

All the snow’s machine groomed.

 

Now to the weather,

Looks like the mid-30s.

Sole and Spirit pleading,

“Please, can we go please?”

 

Today is Thursday,

No snow in the forecast.

But, night snow making,

Is probably the best bet.

 

I think I will chance it.

I need to get out.

These two need a break,

Time to blow steam off.

 

Shoot for this Sunday,

Earlier the better.

Buy a Full-Day Ticket,

Wear my warm sweater.

 

Don’t forget my “Cat Crap”,

Foggy goggles to stop.

A little extra money,

Buy something in the shop.

 

My skis are tuned.

Got my helmet and gear.

Sole and Spirit can’t wait,

Until my butt’s in the lift chair.
