On both sides of them, however, is a number of steep looking slopes with quite a few skiers on them. Obviously, the jumps and stuff are a bit too extreme for most people. As you near the top however you are surprised to spot a snowboarder begin to make their way down. Picking up speed, they enter a half pipe and sail up the side, then they make a sharp turn that’s almost on the nose of their snowboard, and then it’ back down again.
Turning in your seat, you only spot them for a moment as then go over a smaller jump and they soon disappear into the fog.
“They’re pretty good, aren’t they?”
“Yeah,” you agree.
For a moment you imagine yourself actually doing those things and then you reach the top. Getting off, you come to a stop a few dozen metres from the lift and wait for mama’s directions.
