"There's a point to this?"
"Yes! There was only one road to the men's house just like this. They caused an avalanche so the women couldn't be rescued until spring."
"So now, it's a movie about kidnapping and imprisonment? And they sing about it?"
"Sing and dance. There's one cool musical number with sawhorses."
I look at her, squinting my eyes. "You're making this up, right?"
"No! It's a great movie. You should watch it."
"Yeah, that's not going to happen. And just so we're clear, there's not enough snow in this area to cause a road-blocking avalanche, so you can leave whenever you want. I can take you back right now."
She rolls her eyes and looks back out the front windshield as we're cresting the hill that leads down into the valley. The sun's jagged rays are reflecting off the snow flurries that have just started to swirl.
"Is this Blitzen Bay?" she says, looking at me with her eyes wide.
"Yeah. Pretty, huh?"
