Nations on a winter holiday

Since the skiing season is soon going to start, I’d really like to read something about some of the nations going on a skiing trip together - living in some cute, wooden hut in the snowy mountains for a week. It doesn’t matter, how many of them, but it would be incredibly cute if there were some wintersport-nations like Canada, Austria or Switzerland to teach some warm nations (Spain, Greece, South Italy..) how to ski.
Bonus 1 - England hurts his leg on the first day and stays at the hut to do the cooking *evil grin* Bonus 2 - Someone you really wouldn’t expect (like Liechtenstein or North Italy) is a master at snowboarding.
My heart flutters if I think of all the chaos and fun could be packed in a story like this :)

Oh, the plans I have... Short prologue is short, but hopefully I shall be able to update soon. Also, I have a lot of trouble writing china, so if he seems a bit off, I apologize ahead of time.
It was originally Hungary's idea, but once Poland heard about it he took it and ran with it. Enough other Nations jumped on board that Austria didn't really have a choice but to accept.
"It'll be fun," Hungary soothed him. "Everyone could use a break from politics, and a chance to relax."
"I suppose," Austria sighed, staring down at the maps for several of his alpine resorts. He shuffled a few of them aside, pulling out one that had several large cabins back in the woods away from the main lodge, yet still accessible. "The rooming assignments read like a logic puzzle."
Hungary smiled, leaning over his shoulder. "What do you mean?"
He sighed again, gesturing at his page of notes. "The list of people who can't under any circumstances share a room is longer than the list of those who can."
Hungary picked up the list, eyebrows raising. "France and

"Woah! This is SO COOL!"
Canada sunk back in his seat, readjusted his headphones, and tried to ignore America acting like an idiot in the seat beside him, nose pressed to the glass like he'd never seen snow before. "They're just mountains," Canada murmured, and as predicted, no one heard him. Truthfully though, his eyes kept sliding out the window too. He'd never been to the Austrian Alps before, though they reminded him a bit of his own Canadian Rockies, all wild and untamed beauty.
"Really, America," France chided from his position in the driver's seat. (England had been barred from driving on account of the fact that he didn't have an EU driver's license, and the last time he'd been allowed to drive he'd nearly taken them straight into the Channel instead of under it.) "Please sit down or you'll attract bears."
Canada smothered a laugh behind his hand as America went white and sunk down into his seat. He wasn't even sure if they had bears or any kind in Austria, but he wasn't about to point that out to America (who probably wouldn

"Yup," Hungary agreed cheerfully, coming out of the nearer cabin to lean on Poland's shoulder. She smiled greeting as France and Canada wandered over, leaving a loudly-complaining England to finish unpacking their car. Hungary consulted the list she was carrying.
"Let's see... Poland, Lithuania, Canada, France, you're all in this cabin. America, you and England are in the other one."
"Great!" America said brightly, ignoring (or possibly not hearing) England's loud groan. "Who're my roomies? All the cool people, right?"
Poland rolled his eyes, and Hungary looked like she wanted to ask who he thought the 'cool people' were. "Japan, Denmark, and North Italy."
Everyone else blinked at the odd juxtaposition those four made, but America grinned. "Sweet, that's great!"
Hungary smiled wryly. "Believe me, Austria and I took forever to work out the rooming arrangements. Poland, Lithuania, Canada, you three are actually rooming together with Greece. France, you're with..." She consulted the list again, and had to swallow a laugh. "Russia, China

Op here~
Aaaaaah, I'm so happy! I already know this is going to be a fantastic fill! Also, you chose such cool characters. Aaaaw, Poland and his fluffy green jacket. I wanna tackle him too xD
Hmmm... I'm not even sure if there could be a bear in Austria... I think, they once set one free in Germany and Switzerland and it could be that they wandered over - but as far as I heard, they had to be shot because they kept going into villages and eating from the trash cans. So yes, America, you will probably be safe from bears xD Better make sure not to cause an avalanche with your I'm-the-hero-cry!
I'm so excited for the next chapter already. Here, take this plate full of my love and cookies!

The next morning, Canada awoke to the sound of a shrill scream and Lithuania rolling out of bed with a 'thunk'. Canada sat up, blinking fuzzily without his glasses as he watched Lithuania fumble across the room toward the door, swearing under his breath.
Greece hadn't even moved, laying on his bed with a cat draped over his face and another one curled up on his chest. Absently, Canada wondered if he'd been smothered in his sleep, and was just about to go over and check his pulse when he noticed something else.
Poland was no where to be seen.
There was quite a commotion coming from the main room of the cabin, so Canada put on his glasses and got up to pad out to see what was going on.
The two cabins were identical in floor plan, built on two levels. The main room, which consisted of a large sitting area and kitchen, was two stories tall, the high ceiling going all the way to the rafters. A set of wide stairs led up to the loft-like second story, where two of the bedrooms were, and a narrow balcony that overlooked the main room. The

Canada was just starting to get worried for Poland's health (and possibly Sweden's if he stayed between them) when the door to the other upstairs bedroom opened and Austria strode out, doing up the last two buttons on his shirt.
"What is the meaning of this?!" he asked sharply, instantly drawing everyone's attention to him. Canada shuffled a couple steps sideways as Austria stood at the top of the stairs with his hands on his hips, surveying the scene going on below like a king from on high. Canada understood with a sudden flash of insight just why Austria had been able to keep a hold of most of the Holy Roman Empire for years and years.
Austria's eyes settled on the two relative non-combatants. "France, what's happened?"
"He totally walked in on me!" Poland spoke up before France could, pointing at Russia and eying the much bigger Nation with a scowl. "In the shower!"
"It was an accident," Russia said pleasantly, though his gaze was still fixed rather predatorally on Poland, who bristled.
Austria sighed, and Canada heard him mutter

You hope I like unconventional pairings? xD Let's just say my heart started to flutter when I just read about Romano and Canada talk! And Americas tackling of Poland in the first chapter? <3 Absolute love!
No, really, I'm the biggest lover of unconventional pairings there is! The weirder the better :D
Oh Austria~ All the planning for nothing xD I knew that one shower would make problems as soon as I read about it xD The on in the other cabin better have a lock, since the girls and the guys have to share one xD
I love your Romano, by the way! His comment about Slavics being idiots was awesome and so IC xD It's quite refreshing to see him without Spain for once! omg, you really don't know how much I love this!
But please don't rush yourself! School, of course, is more important! ;) I wish you good luck with your projects <3
