"It's a pleasure, Jake." He said, once again fumbling with his ski poles. He never understood why poles were needed. Sure, they did help you get going, but they seemed to be in his way the entire way down the mountain. Now, snowboarding, that was a much better way to race. Much more similar to being on a broom, using your body to lean and control the direction.
He laughed another booming laugh at the next question. "Well, I never really learned how to ski. I tried a few times on holiday, when I was much younger. Never really got the hang of it." He noticed his new work companion pulling a head of him, "How about you? You seem quite at home on these sticks of terror."
Looking down the mountain, West noticed he was falling far behind the lead skiers. The fact that he was losing was not a big deal to him. He was far more concerned with the possibility of crashing and breaking bones before his first official day on the job. He was normally very athletic, but there were certain sports he never got the hang of.
