I’m going downhill skiing as soon as there’s enough powder. I can’t wait to feel the wind in my hair as I careen down the side of a mountain. Hanna: You’re more likely to be on the bunny slopes! You’ve only been on a snowmobile once and gone cross-country skiing a few times. What makes you think you’ll be able to ski the slopes like an expert? Ahmed: I can ice skate better than you can, so no matter what, I know I’ll be better at it than you’ll be. When I get the hang of skiing, I’ll probably try snowboarding. Hanna: Now I know you’re blowing smoke. You don’t have the nerve. Ahmed: Oh, yeah? I challenge you a game of one-on-one ice hockey. Hanna: You’re twice my size! Make it a snowball fight. Ahmed: You’re on! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
