All of today’s clue words are already members of the ralis95 clue word database.  Five of the jumbles are coming up as new for me.  However, we have definitely seen “cosila” in earlier Jumbles.  All the clue words came to me immediately.  The answer letter layout was scintillating sixteen letter jumble.  If the final answer slots didn’t kind of lay it all out for me I would think it was a very cryptic jumble!

A chilling cartoon of the skiing couple, at the top of the double black diamond ski run.  With the chalet/lodge at the bottom of the mountain, a ski lift and skiers.  And, other slopes off in the distance.  I don’t know about you guys . . . but you can point me to the bunny slope!  Better yet, just park me in front of the fire, at the lodge, with a nice strong drink!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
