บท 109: Snowballs

Once Hazel got a hang of the snowmobile she was having the time of her life. The freezing air on her nose and the fact that it everything was tinted orange from her goggles didn't detract from that.

Will told her that people had to wear goggles both to protect their eyes from the wind and because the sun glinting off the snow could be blinding. She accepted without complaint though she was so laden down with gear that it seemed like she was being sent off into battle.

Everything she was wearing was so thick that she could barely move. Bending her elbows and knees was a bit strenuous but that didn't matter. She was actually driving a snowmobile all by herself!

Riding on the back of someone else's was all well and good but there was something special about being the one in charge of controlling it. Hazel intended to spend as much time outside as her body would allow so she could soak these breathtaking views into her soul.
