The temperature was a balmy 45 degrees on the 15th day of March. Wild Cat Mountain had been open all winter through what was claimed to be the coldest in 20 years, but this day seemed to stick out like a beautiful sore thumb in the cold record. The sun shined brightly and greeted Jim and Elise as they pulled into the parking lot, managing to find a space very close to the main lodge as another car left.
"Oh wow babe, days like this one are the absolute best for snowboarding. The air is warm, and snow is wet and holds an edge. This is when the real fun is to be had." Jim said as he opened the back hatch of the car and removing the boards from the back.
"Yeah, it feels really nice out." Elise returned.
The couple entered the main lodge and got their lift passes for the day, and suited up in their lighter jackets. The automated doors opened and they walked outside, strapping in and boarding the summit lift, surprisingly not having to wait in line at all, due to the lack of people at the mountain that day (most were at school or work).
After a minute of riding on the chair, and elderly old woman fell off her seat while attempting to sit down at the base of the lift, so it came to a stop and the lift attendants had to help her up and wait for the engine on the lift to start back up.
"Ah damn it. I hate it when that happens. It's always some dumb ass that slows everything down for the rest of us." Jim growled.
"Babe, its ok, it'll just be a minute. Any ways, you shouldn't get so grumpy so early on," replied Elise.
"Oh, and why not?" Jim barked back, half smiling because the joy of the warm weather could not be pried from him.
"Because I won't do this." Elise said, as she nudged closer to Jim and put a hand on his lap.
Jim perked up and sat up straight, putting an arm around Elise and enjoying the first real kiss of the day. She softly bit his bottom lip, and her hand pressed harder against his lap, as he grew increasingly harder.
"I guess it's a good thing that it's not so cold out." Jim said, as the lift began to putter up again "Awww, does that mean we have to stop?"
"Not just yet, but you might want to follow me this run." Elise said.
The couple continued their kiss, along with some more heavy petting. Jim noticed it was a strange thing to be able to feel a nipple through so many layers of clothing. The romance had come to a somewhat abrupt halt by the oncoming end of the lift. Jim laughed briefly about having to push away from the chair with an obvious erection showing through his baggy snow pants. They sat and buckled in to their snowboards, and hoped down the hill.
Weaving and turning down the slope, the conditions were just as Jim had said they would be. After a short ways down, Elise ducked under a rope on a trail that had been closed earlier that day because the mountain didn't run all of the lifts if there weren't enough people to make it cost effective. Jim grinned and showed a big smile, he always liked it when Elise took charge and broke rules. A few turns down the trail, Elise tuned around and came to a stop in a short outcropping of the trees that made up the walls along side the route, and Jim came to a stop directly in front of her shortly thereafter. He unstrapped his boots very quickly, and took advantage of the natural bondage that came with Elise still being strapped into her bindings. He pushed her back to the ground, and straddle over her, leaning down for another kiss much like the last one.
