She’s wearing six-inch heels
Sarah
That's basically impossible. 4" heels are high, 6" would require a significant platform.

holding out her hands, putting herself physically between them.
Sarah
That's twice in the last like 10 pages someone has "put themselves physically" between two other people.

She is wearing a bright blue jacket and white salopettes that look fresh off the peg, and her buttercup hair is sticking out around her hood.
Sarah
She should be wearing a helmet. I mean maybe it's under the hood, but if it's as cold as they say they would be wearing balaclavas under the helmets. No one wears a scarf to ski.

She is wearing a bright red ski jacket—scarlet silk
Sarah
Silk. Are you kidding me? That is NOT a fabric for a ski jacket.

We passed over the run in the lift a few minutes ago, and it looked like a sheer sheet of ice,
Sarah
OK but it's been snowing. So how could the ice be showing.

Topher comes in wearing ski gear and thick socks,

there are people trapped on lifts and stuff.

The resort is closed - it was closed hours ago. And no one was on that bubble lift when they went up.

Sarah
what's with the the "full stop?" If it's supposed to be there set it off with punctuation.

the patter of snow against the window.
Sarah
What is with people thinking falling snow makes noise? It's weirdly quiet because it muffles sounds as it builds up. If it's making noise it's not snow, it's freezing rain.

Oh god, this is not what I am good at. I am good at filing, and taking notes, and making sure everything adds up. I am good at tidying up loose ends and keeping everything straight. I am task-oriented and time-conscious and detail-focused. And I am very, very good at making myself invisible. In short, I was a perfect PA. But I am not cut out for this.
Sarah
"tidying up loose ends" sounds suspicious

was written up as a tragic accident. There were drugs and alcohol in his system and people; they just assumed that he fell I suppose,
Sarah
What is with the semi-colon after people? like there were drugs and alcohol and people in his system. Ellipses would make more sense. Or just "people just assumed he fell."
