If this was a vacation, and despite the fact that Nick had been keeping himself busy with his old occupations it really seemed to be, then Nick was going to do some of the things he always wished he had more time for. He'd already read a book, toasted his feet by the fire and been introduced to a remarkable device known as a television set, but not all of his leisure pursuits took place indoors. In fact, a great many of them didn't, and that is what drove him out of doors on a fine, cool afternoon.
His home, while covered with ice and snow, didn't have a great many hills, and so it was a treat for Nick to discover some equipment and start out from the compound towards the mountain. Nick was going skiing.
He'd been before, of course, on all manner of skis and in all manner of venues, but it had been quite some time and Nick wasn't sure how steady he'd be on his feet. Nor did he think that was particularly important. Whatever happened, he was sure he would come down the mountain all right in the end.
