My friends and I, I believe four of us, are going up to the mountain. Yesterday we were up at the ski resort, and we were sliding around on some small hills at the top of the ski run, apparently without a sled or anything, just on our butts. We decided to come back after the lifts were closed, when we could slide down the whole ski run.

Then we've split up into two groups, and we're climbing around in the girding of the ski run (as if it's some prop, requiring a steel structure to support it). I suddenly realize that sliding down the ski run is a bad idea; there's no way to slow down or stop or steer, and the ski run is continuously downhill, so you'll just go faster and faster until you eventually crash. Besides, it's a long way; once you've gone down it once, it will take several hours to hike back up to the top. I don't know if my friends thought about that, but the two have already gone to start sliding.
