"This was your idea!"
"What makes you think that I know how to do this?" The girl yelled at the boy. A group of snowboarders were standing (or sitting in my case) at the end up the hill. There were ropes that you had to grab onto, and they would bring you back up to the top of the hill. The only problem was that there was a hold up. There was one skier that was terrified to go up on the ropes, but refused to let people go in before her. None of us said a word, though we all wished that she would just move already. Next to me was boy and a girl that were arguing like there was no tomorrow.
"Do you even know how we're supposed to go up the ropes?" The girl asked the boy. I looked over at the boy. You could tell he was older, he acted like she was his responsibility, but it was more than that. He held himself up higher, he was taking charge even though nether of them knew anything about snowboarding. Both of them had unbuckled one foot, and tried going up the rope with their back to it. The girl turned to me.
"Do you know how to go up this?" She asked me.
"Yeah, this is only my second time snowboarding but I wouldn't go up like that." I told her. The boy pushed himself from the fence he was leaning on. A skier had fallen down next to him and she struggled to get up.
"Gabe help her up." The girl called to the boy. The boy tried to help the fallen skier up, but failed. She got up on her own afterwards.
"How do you get up?" The boy, who's name I learned was Gabe asked me. The ropes was actually just one really long rope. It loped through a large machine, one at the top and the other at the bottom. The rope never stopped moving unless it manually was stopped by a human up in the little house at the top of the hill. You needed to grab onto the moving rope and it would bring you to the top.
"Don't unbuckle, just hop, it works out better. Face the rope, make sure your dominant foot is behind you and grab on tight," I told them.
"You wanna go first, Savannah?" Gabe asked his sister.
"Yeah, no," she laughed. He mumbled a few things, but he went on first. He made it halfway up before tumbling to the ground.
"We should have gone skiing," Savannah uttered as I laughed.
