[Verse 1] Powder paradise calls your name today White cathedral silence, tempting you to play But beneath those emerald sentinels lurk threats unseen Tree wells gaping wide like hungry submarine Twisted branches camouflaged in snow Hidden rocks and stumps won't let you know Till you're airborne, careening toward surprise Visibility drops, you're skiing nearly blind [Chorus] Partner up, stay in sight Tree wells deep, avoid their bite Hidden rocks beneath the white Buddy system saves your life Partner up, stay in sight Never venture past their sight Forest skiing's pure delight When you follow safety's guide [Verse 2] Morning powder turns to concrete ice What seemed soft can fool you in a slice Deadfall timber masquerades as mounds One wrong turn and gravity compounds Evergreen branches whip across your face Disorientation steals your sense of place That perfect line might lead you to a trap Check your partner, close the distance gap [Chorus] Partner up, stay in sight Tree wells deep, avoid their bite Hidden rocks beneath the white Buddy system saves your life Partner up, stay in sight Never venture past their sight Forest skiing's pure delight When you follow safety's guide [Bridge] When the powder's waist-deep around each pine Those tree wells become a danger sign Loose snow collapses, swallows skiers whole Escape becomes impossible to control [Verse 3] Maintain that precious visual thread One glance away, your buddy could be dead Communicate through wilderness terrain Call out obstacles, share the joy and pain [Final Chorus] Partner up, stay in sight Tree wells deep, avoid their bite Hidden rocks beneath the white Buddy system saves your life Stay together, ski it right Mountain magic, pure delight
