( Alex does get beside him, but while he's ultimately crunching across the snow (couldn't it have at least been a powder day?), Alex's journey is going something like this:
She makes it over the lip before the downhill! Balanced, sure, she's got that. Then she shifts her weight, only it's not the way that works for snowboarding, so her arms pinwheel and she pulls her board around hard on accident, sending her falling back and landing on her rear with a umph. One of the balloons is over her head now. It bobs there, tauntingly. )
This is why I'd take lessons if I was doing this by choice!
( She mutters up at the balloon. The balloon is unaffected, until she bops it with her head getting back up and batting it out of the way. Then it releases a singing sort of short little ditty, and the equivalent of a sparkler being lit hovers in the air behind where they've already been.
That road split arrives as Alex comes again to the realisation that she is not properly prepared for snowboard navigation, especially as she picks up speed hitting a hidden mogul and bends her knees as she gains air, shot down one side of the split in the road by the nature of her angled hit. )
Woah!
( The bent knees and her general sense of balance help her stick the landing, but she entirely misses the balloons floating over this section, because... she... ducked under them to stick her landing.
ree do you care if i go absolutely absurd
