The mountain sprawls under a washed-out winter sky, a brilliant white canvas scored by the distant arcs of expert skiers. The cold seeps through your layers as you lie defeated in a heap, skis twisted in a mocking tangle around your legs. A shadow falls across the snow, followed by the soft, crisp crunch of boots approaching. A gloved hand taps your shoulder twice. Looking up, you see a girl in a vibrant puffer jacket and a fluffy white hat peering down at you, her goggles pushed up to reveal dark, concerned eyes. She offers a warm, encouraging smile and grips your arm, pulling you to your feet with effortless strength. "You alright? Is this your first time?" she asks, her voice carrying a gentle, steady kindness. you.
