“Seems we’re in luck,” says mama, surprising you slightly. You turn to her. “They’ve had good snow on that side. The guy running the lift said he skied it just yesterday.”

“Oh! Cool!” you reply.

You’re not sure if your nappy is on mama’s mind, but she doesn’t mention it.

“So we’ll ski down to behind the village and then up to the summit.”

 

You haven’t gone far when you make up your mind. There are people about, sure, but this is really uncomfortable now. So, you decide that you’ll slow next to a tree and just go. Hopefully no one will think to much about you squatting in the snow this close to the village given you can see the buildings.
