Nope on the Slope (ONC 2024)

The senior ski trip has come at last and everyone but Kelsi Long is excited to go. Kelsi has her eyes set on Justin Baron, her best friend's cousin. As the ski trip approaches Kelsi's friends force her to go on the trip against her will.

Scarlett Simpson and Levi Baron prepare Kelsi for the ski trip by teaching her various winter sports. One afternoon, Kelsi practices skiing with only Levi, Justin Baron's cousin. As the afternoon gets out of hand, Kelsi realizes there have been sparks between her and Levi this whole time.

The day of the ski trip arrives and Justin sits with Kelsi all the way to the Ski Lodge. Kelsi is conflicted and doesn't seem to know why. Will Kelsi get to be with the person she's always wanted to be with or will she surprise herself and end up with someone unexpected?
