This is long overdue, but saw it in my drafts and decided to post it
One day when we had a lot of snow, I wrote a fake ski report for Mt. Discovery, which sits across the bay. Because it has glaciers running down the length of it interspersed by volcanic patches, it looks like ski runs, so we always imagine it's a ski area
Bring out the fat skis! It’s a powder day! All runs on SE
aspects are skiing incredibly. Expect waist deep powder. NW aspects are wind
blown and a bit icy. It’s cold out there today, so bring extra cash to buy fire
water and hot cocoa. And bring along a snow bunny for après ski snuggling.

notice. (treaty ends 2048)
