"Three, two, one, GO!" he chanted and he took off down the mountain. The cold wind was stinging his freshly shaven face and he wished he would have grabbed the ski head cover the young lady had offered him at the equipment rental kiosk. Jacob or Jake as he prefered to be called rented ski gear from the kiosk and then headed over to the starting point to strap everything on. He had never participated in a ski race before, but it probably induced the same feeling of adrenaline rush and excitement as quidditch did, he hoped. If he was good or bad at skiing remained to be seen.
With his helmet on, his skies strapped on and ski sticks in hand Jake stood next to the others and then when the horn blasted he pushed off down the mountain. Before he got very far he felt how the Minister's stick thingy slapped him on the left arm. "Ouch! Hey, look where you're aiming and going!" Jake shouted hotly over to the older guy.
Skiing on and coming up next to a guy he deemed to be near his age that looked sort of ample on his skiies he called over "Hi! Got any good skiing tips?"
