Okay, she didn't receive any medals on the spot for helping her professor, but it was still a nice thing to do. Especially if she'd hurt her... teeth? Sinead wasn't sure how that worked, and may have stuck around to find out- except she became aware of a crunching noise behind her, like something heavy treading on snow.

Turns out, it was something heavy treading on snow. A snow yeti, to be precise. Okay, she hadn't thought the danger would seem this literal. Her eyes popped for a moment and she turned back to smile briefly and awkwardly at the professor.
"You're welcome hope you feel better soon," she gabbled, before running in the opposite direction at top speed. The one advantage to being right at the back was that everyone in front of her had tamped down the snow nicely, and she hopped along in their footsteps, making pretty decent time over to the snow mound.

That didn't go down quite so easily. She couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed that she was struggling to get up the hill- well, but it was pretty steep, wasn't it? Looking around, everyone else seemed to be having some trouble too, which made her feel slightly better.

Despite this, she was still the last over the mound and by the time she reached the tunnel she seemed to be pretty much alone again, except for a yeti she could see blundering vaguely in her direction. It was still a bit of a way off- and good thing too, she didn't want to find out what happened if they caught her- but she wasn't about to chance anything. Probably best to get a move on. The tunnel looked like her kind of obstacle, anyway, apart from the fact that she had to crawl to get through it. (Ew.) Being small was kind of annoying a lot of the time, but it paid off here, as she fit with plenty of breathing space and began a nice steady pace through the narrow passage.
