Apologies to the original lyricist:
I'm a skier, I'm a skier, from Silverdale way
I climbed up Mount Townsend the boot-packin' way.
I may be a wage-slave on Monday,
But I am a ski bum on Sunday.
Climbed the SSE face and gullies above Camp Windy on Sink Creek. With 100' meadow skipping I could ski from inches below the summit to about 4400'. Lots of surface sluffs but nothing big; manageable with cuts and pauses to the side. I can see the line from my place at the dining table. ;D

Is that sung to the Monty Python tune "I'm a Lumber Jack?" :D
No, different tune and theme, duh. ::)
But if you want to be that kind of lumberjack I'm okay with it. :D
I'd only put on women's clothing on St. Helens on Mother's Day---but I do hang out in bars....
The original folk song is about a factory worker who hikes (rambles) in the Peak District:
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from Manchester way
I get all my living the free-roaming way. (I think I got this line wrong)
I may be a wage-slave on Monday
But I am a free man on Sunday.

Good on ya mate! just couldn't let that one go for another year.

Solo?
Yup
I'm not familiar... could you hum a few bars?
Way to go Mac!
Ale, it must be old an hippy jingle - you and I are too young to remember.
Joeda - good imagery - Mac, the axe, high heals and suspenders and bra, Mt Townsend.
OTH, you are right, it is time to hang up your lift pass and climb some mountains!!!
