Gordy and Carl share the same birthday, same year. Things were slow at the store due to an alleged lack of snow, so I proposed a day of skiing at Pilot's. The next morning, we drove up to the parking lot in my van. I sent the rest of the group ahead, explaining that loading Mariel into the pulk would be time consuming. Once they were all out of sight, I loaded the front of the pulk with a surprise gourmet picnic. Mariel snuggled in for the long haul up the mountain. Note the little urchin peaking over the backrest of the pulk. |

| By the time the sled team arrived, the rest of the gang had already done some turns. Sitting down for what they thought was cold sammies, I whipped out the Kahlua for starters and the birthday party was on. |  |
| Later on, Mariel fell asleep. I snuck off for some turns (within eyesight) but Mariel couldn't see me when she awoke. She set off the alarm at a volume that brought everyone back in a hurry. |  |
