Love on the Slopes Page #6

I'm Alex Burns.

Cole Taylor.

You're the cause

of the pile-up?

You told him

about that?

Yes.

Safety precaution.

Well, you're right.

I'm pretty much

terrible

at every

outdoor activity,

but I came to Ridgeline

to face my fears,

and it's pretty clear

that I can't really

do it on my own.

I know

that you're not a guide,

but you seem pretty great

at everything that you do,

and there is

no one else available.

Wow. I'm flattered.

No! I'm so sorry. I didn't--

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm a copy editor,

and I just got my first real

travel writing assignment,

which means I can't mess it up.

The problem is

that I'm supposed

to write this article

about me doing

extreme sports,

and I'm basically

afraid of everything,

and probably the worst person

for the job,

but my editor seems to think

that it is a brilliant idea.

It could

be really funny.

Look. This is--

This is

my one shot.

If I don't do this right,

it'll ruin my career.

Please, Cole...

would you please help me?

Sorry, Alex,

we're really busy.

Right. I understand.

We're not that busy.

What?

I have an honest face.

I can't lie.

And you picked the right guy.

I mean,

Cole is great at everything,

and I'm not just saying that

because I run his gallery.

What about the Winter Walk

we're trying to organize?

Uh, "we"? I thought

I was organizing.

What about

the meet-and-greet?

You said you weren't

doing that.

I could help!

With Winter Walk,

or-or the meet-and-greet,

or whatever is needed,

I-- and you could help me

with extreme sports.

It's a win-win!

Please?

All right.

But I'm giving you one day

to prove to me

that you're not gonna

kill us both,

and you play by my rules.

Got it?

Got it!

Where are you staying?

Ridgeline Resort?

Mm-hmm.

Meet me at 9:
00 a.m.

at the activity center.

9:
00 a.m.,

activity center. Got it.

Come prepared to work.

Will do.

Thank you so much!

"Day two

of my extreme adventure,

and I've already made

one friend."

"Okay, almost one friend.

"But I have found a guide

"into the world

of extreme sports,

"which means

things are looking up.

"I'm curious to see what he has

in store for us today.

"Hopefully nothing too extreme.

"I'm feeling a bit like

the local deer...

just as skittish."

Good morning.

Good morning.

Wow. Perfect timing.

I just checked.

The chopper's leaving

in 20 minutes.

A helicopter?

Yeah. There's a giant

ice cliff nearby.

You've gone ice-climbing

before, right?

Ice-climbing?

While we're up there,

we're gonna paraglide

off the cliff.

Paragliding?

Mm-hmm.

Uh... that all sounds

really fun, but, um--

I just remembered
