You squirm slightly, suddenly noticing your bladder. But mum is already beginning to move towards the other slope and there’s not loads of light left, so you decide to wait, knowing you can hold out. Mum comes to a halt near a corpse of snow-covered gum trees.

“Now, you’ve got to be careful; this slope is narrow like that easy green one, but it’s a lot steeper,” mum explains. “So, you’ve got to be careful. I’ll go ahead and don’t go faster than me. Okay?”

“Okay,” you reply.

The run is a bit hard, but also really pretty. It’s about as steep as the other blue run, but there’s not a lot of space to turn, so you can’t easily zig zag your way down — or you can, but you do a lot of zig zagging. It is incredible though, and you are reminded of snow-covered landscapes in fairy tales and stories.
