“Mum wants to meet at the top,” you tell mama before they get onto the lift and you head back to mum. You wave at Lucy as she looks back from the lift.
The next run is a blue run. Mama is telling Lucy it’s the easiest blue run on the mountain and that she’ll be fine. The words seem to work as Lucy smiles.
“Don’t go off ahead this time,” mum tells you as she glides over. “It gets steep just before the end and if you lose control you might run into someone. There’s always a lot of people at the bottom.”
On one hand you just want to ski to your heart’s content, but on the other hand you’ve never gone down this run before and as much as you don’t want to admit it, you can feel you’re a little bit scared. You try not to think about it as the four of you glide over from the chair lift, as you’re a big girl.
You’re less sure about that as you reach the top of the slope.
