Abandoned in a ski school by parents who over-estimated its ability on skis, therefore condemning it to a week of falling over and getting deserted by its French classmates, the snotty ski school kid is alone and lost in resort, lapping the chair in sullen misery and refusing to get off. Don’t attempt to comfort – it’ll end either with you getting bitten or arrested for child abduction.

If sharing a chair expect to hear: Heart-rendering sobs that petter out into snotty chokes mid-ride, before crescendoing into panicked screams as they realise they’re about to have to ski off at the top of the lift.
