Icy mountains melt-
skiing, no more but I'll fish
in the new formed lake

Skiers Must Perish

Theres something bout the
Cold wind blowing across your face
Its not the kill
Its the thrill of the chase
Its like being in bed with

On your head all root
This is something that
I will always cherish
Here to state the fact that
Skiers must perish

I'm looking forward to free skiing the most. Just groomers, big wide groomers making nice big turns.
