Twas the shortest day of the year

all around a holiday cheer

With a promise of powdery snow

A rare gift, as many coastal people know.

But wait! A weak layer! Or maybe two?!

At variable depths?! What could we do?!

We dug and we dug until our diggers were sore.

We made observations, then we made some more.

With the forecast in one hand, in the other our hopes

We found sweet turns on low angle slopes

So much can inform us on what’s good and what’s bad

And with safety in mind, there is fun to be had
