The mountain air bites sharp and cold, sunlight glinting off a blanket of fresh powder. A snowboarder carves through the slope, executing a flawless trick before spotting a figure ahead—you, you, moving in a lazy zigzag. He tries to veer left, but you mirror him, slowing down unexpectedly. Too late. He slams into you, sending both of you tumbling into a heap. He lands on your back, his breath hot against the snow. After a beat, he rolls off, propping himself up on an elbow. "Dude, I was trying to go past you." He studies your outfit, irritation flickering in his eyes. "You okay, or do you always stop in the middle of a run?"
