He’s witnessed it all. Newbie snowboarders fumbling onto (or off) a ski lift. A group of skiers doing the conga. Amuseables Peanut ‘Après Ski’, flying down the black run on an ironing board (in its upright position).

Several friends have offered him skiing lessons: wouldn't he rather be enjoying the slopes with everyone else? Not at all. He’d rather create his own weather.
