55 Flash Fiction Friday


-
Snow wonderful snow! Fresh, and deep and powdered. I'm ready to ski, on black diamonds I'll carve it! Don't forget to wax the skis, and sharpen the edges. I'll be first on the chairlift please. Catch me at the bottom! Sierra snow, 6 feet of fresh snow, I’m gonna go!

Apologies, to the musical Oliver, and my readers.  I'm snow blinded.
Write a story or poem in exactly 55 words, and let G-Man know HERE

Photo: Sugar Bowl, California, above Donner Lake,  named for the early settlers of the Donnor Party who crossed the western Sierra Nevada but were stuck here and some resorted to cannibalism to survive.  Just an interesting tidbit.

    Don't forgo the thermals in the snow. Have happy trails down the powdery slopes. I'll wait for you in the cafe where the sane start and end that trip to the ski town.

    I'm in awe of you for skiing black diamonds. I've only done cross-country. Speed scares me. Have a fabulous trip! You've waited long enough.

    I'm glad that some of us enjoy the snow!
    ;)
    Do you like shoveling as much as skiing, and if so, do you want to come up to canada and help us out?

    I was hoping to relax inside by a nice fire while watching the downhill racing in Vancouver today, but it looks like it's may be rained out! Oh well... at least there's snow in other parts of the world. Hope you enjoy your trip!

    Great 55!
