Snowflake: A Love Story - 1. Tahoe

Brian
I'm two hours out from Tahoe on I80, going to Auburn Ski Camp to unwind from Med School back at UC Frisco. I like cross-country skiing...and I like cross-country ski instructors. Auburn Ski Camp Training Center is one of the 'it' places to train in cross-country. I want to train with a trainer. I very much want to 'train' with a trainer.
Ostensibly, I'm trying to perfect my skate skiing form. I'd like to perfect it so that maybe I can compete in the sport. But, really, I'm just there for the snowbunnies and some peace and quiet.
My name is Brian Chesney. I am 25 and studying Neuroscience at UCSF Medical School. I am also gay as a lark. I'm a blonde and blue eyed All-American type that likes to surf, ski, and have sex parties up in a loft on Castro above Qbar with 25 or so of my really close friends. I never want for partners and sometimes I have them all at once. I'm sexy as fuck...and I'm sure humble about it.
I hate football, basketball, baseball, foozeball, and ping-pong. Much to the chagrin of lots of preppy twinks that want to ride my pony, I also hate tennis, polo, and lacrosse too. As a matter of fact, I hate all team sports or sports that require a direct match with another player.
I'll have fun with volleyball, but only because it’s on the beach and only if that beach is Pacific Beach in San Diego with a bunch of fucking tight assed Marines and sailors. Heaven bless Top Gun...my masturbatory fantasy for most of my 15th year.
You see, I am not a team player. I have way too much ego for that shit. I can't stand having to bend and weave to 'take one for the team'. Fuck the goddamn team! I do my thing my way. Always have. Always will. Maybe that's what makes me sexy as fuck.
When I walk into a bar, all eyes turn to me. I strut and sashay my way up to the bar and the eyes follow me, generally raping me with their thoughts. Before long I have free drinks and 5-6 prospects for the evening.
Yeah. I'm hot as an H-Bomb...and I don't wanna do it anymore.
I'm empty and I'm tired.
Dammit! I think I've finally grown up. But habits are hard to break, especially when I have a network of fuck buddies that can't seem to let me go. As long as I stay in Frisco I'll be literally sucked into the same rut over and over. Work, drink, drugs, meaningless screws upstairs in the loft.
I've tried the more kinky stuff hoping to rekindle my excitement in my old life. Didn't like it. I like neither leather nor lace and I'm not particularly fond of giving or especially receiving pain. I don't like edging; it pisses me off and I don't like being tied up either. I'm pretty boring sexually. If you’ve got a great bod and you wanna make it; I'm available. We can do it all night if you want. I got that kind of stamina.
But then you go home before morning and I find myself awake and alone in bed. Again. The cycle starts over... and over and over.
So I break it up. I go out to Tahoe and I ski if it’s winter and the water's too cold to surf. I’ve got to get away. I gotta hope maybe there's something more than this.
I got into cross-country after a bad day alpine skiing. I was an asshole and I took a grade too steep for my egotistical ass. I managed to break my ankle, leg, and arm in the fall. So cross-country seemed safer. So fuck me...I settled. Like I said, I don't like pain particularly. Then I actually started liking it a lot better. It’s a more natural use of skis and Nordic skis are more comfortable to me.
Most importantly, it lets me be alone for long periods. Nothing like ice cold, white snow and the repetitive ache of pushing yourself on a level track through some of the most beautiful wilderness in the country. California really is a miracle. From Mediterranean beaches to alpine terraces that put the Alps to shame.
Of course, being me, I rarely end up alone at night upon going to the ski lodge's bar after skiing and exuding my sweaty pheromones all over the place. It’s remarkable how many gay folks like to ski Tahoe and all of them are almost as sexy as I am. Almost.
Somehow doing it with a guy in a ski lodge is better than doing him in a loft above Qbar.
Still...they don't mean anything in the end.
It was when I realized this that I started packing cold weather camping gear, putting it on my back, and skiing out. I started camping out under the stars alone. God you don't know stars until you see them in a crystal clear cold sky up on a mountain track! Something about cold air makes stars really pop.
There is peace out there and a new perspective. Without my cock constantly being stimulated it is easier to concentrate on things. Important things. Things like...where am I going with my life and is this all there is?
Looking up into the heavens I understand how limitless things are. Looking down across the snowy ridges and vales Iunderstand how immense and timeless everything is and just how small and puny we are.
The mountains around me will be here 10,000 years after I'm gone. If the astronomers are to be believed, some of the light that we see from the stars existed before the Earth existed. Before the first amoeba came from protein dense water!
Wow!
Here I was like a maggot squirming around with other guys in a loft and all of this...this...has been here waiting for me to discover it. What a waste of time!
There's something more waiting here, I muse, as I make the last leg up the I80 toward the lodge. This place calls to me. All of Tahoe calls to me. This is a place of power. Somehow sacred...and it’s calling me home.

Snowflake
Ohss! I do not understand how people in this condition can even hope to ski across from the lodge to the preparation area, much less cross-country! Even the groomed tracks will be too much for most of these people. One too many of those Chicago style pizzas I imagine. They verily split the seams of their thermal suits!
I have a feeling that they thought of ross-country skiing as somehow easier than alpine. They have no conception of what it is they are trying to do. But, I try anyway for it is my job and my father always told me that I must finish what I start no matter how seemingly hopeless the case.
It is most difficult at times. I tend to get the higher-paying clients, not because I hold world records in the sport but, alas, because I'm a 'Real Swede!'.
To them it matters not that I am Finnish, not a fucking limp-dicked Swede! In my land these people would be made without teeth for such an insult. But then...Americans. So blissfully unaware of the other parts of the world. God go with them! Such a silly people at times.
I love Americans, though! There is an innocence that none in Europe have. A lack of history that opens their minds to possibilities...even far-fetched ones. Not unlike this poor 69 year old man thinking he can master the Nordic skis in five minutes. He knows it is not possible, but he tries anyway! Truly an inspiration.
Though I am young in body, I often feel the weight of time when I am home in Finland. It ages my very soul. There is almost a feeling of shame to be too optimistic there. It is an old feeling from even older times when life in the Laplands was precarious at best. The harsh winters buried their knives into my ancestors once too often. It impressed an almost genetic pessimism. Even laughter is muted lest it may anger an Ice Giant or some other superstitious thing we once believed in long ago. Here in America this oppressive weight lifts...and I truly do feel the freedom here that exists nowhere else in the world.
My name is Jossë Halla. I am a cross-country ski instructor here at Auburn Ski Camp--one of the better cross-country skiing centers in the Americas. My friends used to tease me and call me 'Lumihiutale' which translates into 'Snowflake' in English. I earned this name because of my looks. I am almost snow white in my skin tone. My hair is almost platinum blonde. My features are a bit delicate for a man and I tend to wear white a lot. Even my eyes are pale. Grey blue but fortunately lined by dark eyelashes. The boys in the taverns back home used to call me their 'Little Snowflake' and tease me about how pretty I was. It was embarrassing, but fun too.
You see...I didn't mind that much. I like men more than women as I am bisexual leaning toward gay. In Finland this is not unusual. We certainly do not carry on about things as they do here in the States. At one time we did, but we've gotten beyond all that now.
I seem to be a favorite instructor among women and openly and perhaps not so openly gay men due to my looks. They come for the wink and a smile, but they stay (or quit) because I know what I am doing. I kick their flabby asses and make Laplanders out of them!
Cross-country skiing has been my life ever since I was little. It is a part of who I am as a person. I defy anyone to know more than I do about the sport and what it expects from you. Training in it can be grueling. Only a few graduate from me. Those that do have become lifelong friends. I even took two of them with me to Finland. They now make regular visits there.
So, here I am back at the lodge prepping some gear for my next victim, er, client. My 69 year old has retired to the bar after not even getting past the guard rails onto the groomed starting track. A wise man. I long to be off duty so that I can join him and have a couple of shots of vodka to thaw myself out a bit. I am a very cold Snowflake today to be sure!
Cold is good though. It means less slush. Also it snowed a few days ago so the groomed trails will be packed. Cold packed powder is easier to glide. It will mean faster skiing.My new client is in for a good time today!
I pull the dossier on this new individual. Brian Chesney. Hmmm. Interesting. He has experience in cross-country Skiing. This means some things to me:
1. He will be an arrogant asshole that thinks he knows everything...until he starts eating my blowback.
2. If he really is experienced then I will not be able to baffle him with bullshit if I think he's about to do something incredibly stupid. I'll have to watch him close.
3. He will more than likely be hot. Skiers have some of the best bodies on earth. If he really is what his dossier says he is then I might be in for some fun and maybe a good student if I can just break him of his ego and get him to learn something. Maybe I might have another mate to cross-country with in my homeland! A rare gem.
But...alas...there goes my Finnish pessimism again. Usually these college boys end up never getting it. They just can't get over themselves long enough. So they go home and pout rather than excel and become true champions on the snow.
We shall see and hope for the best. This I learned from Americans!
This part is very interesting! He wants to learn the skate style. This style is different from the usual slide-slide push-push of the traditional version of Nordic skiing. You must actually make use of your skis as if they are ice skates. A difficult trick to master but very useful in long distance races. So, it means he knows something of the sport and wants to compete. Very interesting indeed! What a fine Laplander he will make! If only...
I sit on the sofa next to the fire lost in thought. A slight weight change in the cushion to my right barely registers until I hear a familiar clearing of the throat and a hip connect with mine with a bump.
I look up and am immediately captured in a succulent kiss on the lips and then feel a tongue push its way into my mouth. Long nails rake through my hair and send tingles down my scalp and all the way down into my groin. It makes me moan into her kiss.
Sabrina.
Releasing me from her kiss, she stares into my icy eyes with her beautiful bluer than blue ones. Her pale skin is offset by eye makeup that is more art than makeup and bright red lipstick. Her pale blonde hair is shoulder length and dressed in an almost 1940s fashion with loose waves meticulously combed and half pinned on the back with a vintage shell barrette. She wears the thin tight-fitting ski suit apparel that serves as a uniform for all the lodge staff. It’s stylized to accentuate her bosom and butt. It actually has no true thermal qualities.
I am still in a daze when she finally speaks in a slightly deeper voice than what you would expect from a lady.
"Penny for your thoughts, handsome?" she intones like a bad film noir character. I smile and then she smiles as I giggle at the statement.
It is not with humor that I refer to Sebastian as Sabrina. When she is thus arrayed she is every bit a woman...complete with breasts. A true transsexual goddess. No one but me knows. They all figure their favorite concierge is every bit a woman, but she dates no one but me. She is an exclusive engagement and oddly the men acquiesce when they hear that her beau is Snowflake. It’s like they don't blame her!
I blush as her hands begin to roam. I flinch when her hand finds my cock.
"Ooof...Woman please! We are in public!" I proclaim with mock offense.
"I don't care..." Her lips go to my neck and she begins to nibble. With her hand where it is, my hardening cock begins to strain against my thermal suit. It does not help that her hands have manly strength to squeeze through the layers of material.
It is at this point that Sabrina turns back into Sebastian as I now feel his large member probing my leg as he leans in to his ministrations upon my neck and ear lobe. I am slowly pushed back into the couch as he positions his weight on top of me, reclining my body and pushing himself between my legs with his hips. His thin 'snow pants' do not do much to restrain his monster. He'll be humping and grinding me in a second. How he hides himself as Sabrina is a profound mystery to me.
"Ah-heemm!" I hear from somewhere above me.
My eyes open slowly to behold a vision not unlike a Norse God come to life. My eyes widen as I take in the sight of him. Despite myself...I feel my cheeks flush.
"You Jessie?" He blurts rather gracelessly. I don't care...his pink lips mispronounce my name so beautifully.
Sabrina returns and lets me up from her mauling.
"Yes...Mr...?" I would have stood to greet him but Sabrina is too good at what she does. She is regarding the intruder like an unwanted smell.
"My name is Brian Chesney. The guy over there said you are my new ski instructor."
Thank you for reading. I hope you are enjoying the story. Leave a review if you are so inclined.
