Backstory:
In the humble town of Boulder, Colorado, a collection of musical souls found each other amidst the sweet scent of crisp mountain air and the thrill of downhill skiing. The group, composed of former ski instructors turned musicians, made the decision to lend their shared passion for slopes and tunes a more tangible form. Thus, ‘Large Slope’ was born.
Jim, the charismatic lead singer, and Mike, the soulful lead guitarist, first started jamming together at ski resort after-parties. They were soon joined by Pete, the bassist, who used to play groovy tunes on his bass guitar by the fireside, and Ryan, the drummer, who was known for drumming on the ski gear. The band started getting noticed for their fresh sound and energetic performances, gaining a dedicated following in the local ski community before eventually breaking out into the mainstream music scene.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
[G]Waking up to the cold [D]morning light,
[Em]Strapping on the skis, preparing for the [C]flight.
[G]Riding up the lift, [D]touching the sky,
[Em]Heartbeats in rhythm, as the [C]valley goes by.
(Chorus)
[G]Mountain high, [D]valley low,
[Em]Riding down the slope, [C]letting go.
[G]Mountain high, [D]feel the thrill,
[Em]In this snowy paradise, time stands [C] still.
(Verse)
[G]Carving through the snow, [D]feeling the breeze,
[Em]The world beneath our feet, [C]brings us to our knees.
[G]The sun dips low, [D]painting the sky,
[Em]In the heart of winter, [C]we learn to fly.
(Chorus)
[G]Mountain high, [D]valley low,
[Em]Riding down the slope, [C]letting go.
[G]Mountain high, [D]feel the thrill,
[Em]In this snowy paradise, time stands [C] still.
