Four Fabulous Females met in the morning to ski.
\nThe west side of Gothic was their objective, you see.

They set out skinning in the morning light.
\nDespite the cloudy skies and short freeze at night.
\nThey skinned over snow and some patches of dirt
\nBefore switching to booting, which made the lungs hurt.

The snow was still firm and held them up well
\nThough a few parts were soft and gave them some hell.

Four Fabulous Females stood on the summit that day
\nDreaming of the mountains where they might play.

At the bottom they looked back at the mountain they skied.
\nAnd headed out swiftly with thoughts of a good feed.<\/p>\n

The Four Fabulous Females had a blast in the snow.
\nThe skiing is still great in places they know.<\/p>\n
