Heavenly Ski Resort, Lake Tahoe. 2 PM.
As the sun rose high over the Sierra Nevada, its glossy landscape shined and provided full visibility to the well kept ski trails for its patrons. On one of those trails, a yellow and green figure was barreling down one of the resort's more moderately difficult trails; the Skyline Trail.
From afar the she looked like an insignificant blur, but to Kandy, she was drowning in wave after wave of adrenaline while showing off her skills. The mask recollected the videos that her other watched while preparing for this trip with Danny. She watched as olympic and X-Games athletes would skillfully maneuver and contort their bodies to speed up, slow down, and race down the mountain side in style. She saw the athletes working their skis on the ground and even perform tricks like spin 360 degrees in the air. She wanted to try it all and with her olympic class physique and stretchy attire she knew that nothing was going to stop her now from truly experiencing the thrill of the sport.
On her way down the summit, she picked up an incredible amount of speed which set her up for some extreme and downright impossible tricks. On flatter parts of the trail, she contoured her body by folding herself into a tight crouch in order to pick up as much speed as possible. And on steeper inclines, she would try to perform some tricks and even catch some air which sometimes propelled her high over other skiers; leaving them behind to eat her snow trail.
Throughout her run, she would occasionally get ogled and cat called from fellow male skiers; further boosting her already inflated ego. She prided herself in being able to go from her other's fledgling skills to becoming a seasoned professional beyond her other's wildest dreams. And to help facilitate prolonging this experience, she occasionally adjusted her cramped helmet to make sure she didn't pose a risk of exposing her crease that nestled deeply beneath her yellow helmet. Sometimes, Kandy just wanted the crease to go away and leave her in full control of her other's life and possibly over the world itself...
As she reached the bottom of the mountain near the lodge, she maneuvered herself to glide over a large boulder and propel herself a hundred feet into the air. Several fellow skiers down at the lodge noticed a yellow dot up in the air. As Kandy gained altitude, the number of onlookers grew and even included professional training instructors who paused their classes just to witness this spectacle.
High up in the air, Kandy spun into a twister and started to perform a death-defying double cork 360,000+; spinning around 360 degrees... thousands of times. As onlookers below shielded their eyes from the snow storm that Kandy whipped up, they held their breath as they witnessed the most jaw-dropping technique any skier had ever performed. But to Kandy, each singular rotation on her skis felt invigorating and natural to her; relishing each revolution in slow-mo. When she finally touched down on the snow floor, she skidded right into the middle of a ring of other skiers, safety crew members, and cute instructors. Her audience cheered for her as they all just witnessed a new world record for cork spins; beating every-single record set by even world renown athletes. Some in the audience pulled out their phones and captured her stunt on video while others approached her and took selfies with the green faced lady. With her heart pumping, her nerves on fire, and her bloodstream fueled with a rush of adrenaline she knew nobody could do better and feasibly challenge her.
She confidently turned to her audience and asked in a husky voice, "anyone up for a little race with me?" Immediately, a series of hands shot up; all willing to challenge the queen of the slopes.
Her exposed green chin and forest green lips smiled at the lot who dared challenge her. As she scanned through the pack of willing candidates and her eyes caught one individual at the back of the crowd. She pointed at the teenager and slowly approached him. The crowd parted way and there stood Danny with his helmet off and his exposed disheveled hair for all to see. Kandy went right up to him and grabbed his jacket collar.
