'Is this safe?' USA asked, a bit nervous while on the top of the mountain.
'Well this is the Blue line, it's the easiest path. Worst case if you fall off the the side or something, Poland or I can just fly to get you out of your situation.' Germany answered,
'Don't worry, most of us here are experienced from skiing with Russia or Switzerland.'

'What if I fall and get injured??' USA asked, worried of getting injured
'Ajah, it will be fine. The skis are set to fall off if they get a certain amount of pressure on them and you have a helmet. I fell on my head multiple times too and I didn't get injured once. The helmet is very stable, maybe you can get your goggles scratched if you're stupid enough.' He shrugged.

'How about this, I'll be behind you the entire time and if you fall or anything I'll be there to help, okay?' Austria assured, earning a smile from the American. USA nodded and they all headed down the mountain.

Poland and Germany raced to see who would be faster, taking the detour to the black line while the others went through the blue line.

USA slowly went down, eventually getting more comfortable and used to the skis.
He decided to ski a little faster, accelerating down the mountain more every minute.

Austria noticed the quick progress, getting a bit distracted while watching the American, almost crashing into Czechia. She noticed the czech and took a sharp right turn, spraying snow all over Hungary who was near Czechia.
'FUCK YOU AUSTRIA!' Hungary shouted, Austria only snickered and sped up to be closer to USA before Hungary could do something about the snow "shower".

Germany and Poland took off their skis, immediately falling into the large snow layer underneath them.
'That was literally so tiring, just for a stupid little tie!' Germany mumbled, also taking off his helmet to fix up with messy hair.
Poland took off only his goggles, keeping the helmet on.
'At least the view is nice, don't you think?' Poland stated at the view, it was sunrise, the snow adding a slight shine.

Germany nodded in agreement, before putting his helmet back on and slipping his skis back on. He put out a hand for Poland, helping him up from the ground.
'Let's get to the bottom before they end up having to wait for us.' Poland got up and they both set off.

Hungary fell off his skis, landing on his head and one of his legs buried in the snow.
He grunted, trying to get out but he didn't have enough strength to get him out of the situation. Czechia did a sharp turn towards Hungary and stopping about next to him.

'Hey is everything okay?' Czechia checked up on him, Hungary didn't respond, only struggling to get out and about to panic about him being stuck here for a long time.
'Wait wait don't do anything, I'll help, okay? Try to relax.'

Czechia used his ski sticks (I have no clue what those things are called in English but if you ski you know what I mean I hope 😭) to take of his skis, walking slowly towards Hungary and getting in his knees before taking off the ski from that leg that was buried deep.
'Man what did you do??'
He used his hand to dig out some snow and wrapped his hands around Hungary's leg before pulling the leg out of the ditch. Czechia fixed up the snow so Hungary won't get stuck in the same hole. He flipped the Hungary over, before helping him up.

'Thanks Czechia.' He thanked, putting his one ski on. Hungary's face was cold, he got a bunch of snow in his face and reddened his entire face. Czechia wanted to make fun of him from the way he fell but decided not to say anything.

Taiwan woke up from her nap to a loud ringing out. She groaned from annoyance and grabbed her phone from her bedside table.
It was Canada.
She decided earlier to fake sick to avoid the Canadian, so she was going by that plan.
She didn't have a sick voice, so she declined the call and decided to text him instead.
