We headed straight down the fall line, breaking through shallower snow, crusty, tricky stuff, and on to a flatter field, a stretch that might almost have been transported from a normal piste, a hard deep base, covered with a few inches of white butter, and we carved through it, gliding down and down. Patrick checked my tracks and nodded, the corners of his mouth pulled down in moderate approval. The deep stuff was new to me that week, but T was beginning to get the feel.
