I’ll win, you’ll sulk, and then-” She came to sharp stop as clumps of snow plopped on her head, courtesy of the people on the chairlift above them tapping their skis together. “What’s the point?” she asked, awkwardly tromping through the snow in boots that felt like lead weights.

Turning away from the idyllic view of snow covered slopes, rocky mountains, and snowcapped trees, Dante saw a group of chuckling little girls flat on their backs, making snow angels.
