Friendship is winning a big soccer game. Friendship is a nice time.
It looks like powdered snow on the ski slopes. It sounds like someone to talk to.

It feels like owning your own slopes. It tastes like Kid Valley hamburgers.
It sounds like skiing a new, very challenging hill. It looks like Nordstroms mew clothes and cars.
