It’s nice to have the breeze racing by as your glide side to side, trying not to build up too much speed as you go down the snow-covered mountain. The slope is wide and relatively smooth, and there’s lots of space so you aren’t going to run into anyone else on the slope.
“Now, that was fun, wasn’t it kids?” mum asks as you get to the bottom.
“Yep!” says Lucy, having seemed to perk up after earlier.
You nod along.
“How about I record all of us going down the slope next run?” suggests mum. “My camera does video.”
An immediate thought comes to mind.
“But how will you use your ski poles?” you ask.
Mum smiles, clearly unconcerned about that.
“They’re useful, but I don’t need them to ski. Certainly not on this slope.”
