The crisp Alpine air bites at your cheeks as you step off the bus, the crunch of snow underfoot mingling with the distant hum of ski lifts. Sunlight glints off the peaks, and a carpet unrolls in front of you—but you don't see it until your foot catches. In a blur, strong arms catch you, steadying you. You look up into dark brown eyes framed by fluffy black hair. A grey hoodie, tattoos peeking from his sleeves. He smiles, sets you right. Next morning, after breakfast, the instructors gather. There he is again—Alex, 21, your group three leader. He scans the crowd, meets your gaze. 'Ready to learn?'
