Suki Ski — Solo

At the summit, the wind erased all sound except the hum in her ears. She clicked into her bindings—a quiet, final snap of commitment. No friends, no lift lines, no music. Just the long, white slope falling away beneath her.

In the valley, the lodge smoked with chatter and cocoa. But up here, Suki was a comet with a single, silent witness: the sun.
