The Bomber Wing

Gather 'round my little ones

I've a story I must tell

all about the Bomber wing

and the way it cast a spell.

-

The Bomber crashed in forty-four

bringing death to all it's crew

and scattering the pieces

as a crash can sometimes do.

-

The snow god's took a liking

to the Bomber's broken wing

and heaped the snow upon it

from fall 'til late in spring.

-

The news spread to the skiers

about Mission's powder snow.

They came by tens of thousands

and they helpd the legend grow.

-

Then, man in all his wisdom

chose to move the Bomber wing.

The snow god's became angry

and snow they'd no more bring.

-

Hard times came to Mission Ridge

one year, two years, three years, four

Was there truth to that legend?

Should they move the wing once more?

-

Would the snow god's forgive them?

Could they perhaps make amends?

"Let's return the Bomber wing

and see if this dry spell ends."

-

There was a celebration

and they heard the snow god's sing.

It snowed, then it snowed some more

from fall 'til late in spring.

-

The Bomber wing had come home

to it's chosen place of rest

and this appeased the snow god's

who, with snow the mountain blessed.

The snow god's now were happy

things were now as they should be.

They heeaped snow upon the Ridge

bringing joy to those who ski.
