Extreme Skiing Birthday card



I'll admit my skiing leaves something to be desired...like nerves of steel which does not happen with 2 pieces of wood strapped to my feet.  I did master Big Bunny at Lutsen, MN back in the day but these days my skiis have gone on to new homes and I'll watch Olympic skiing on my tv while I sit on the couch.  I do have friends that enjoy the sport so I made this card for one of them.
