Summary

Armed with a copy of ‘Skiing with Confidence’, the Doctor takes Decky Flamboon to the Alps for a skiing lesson. But Decky has problems with the ski’s and his powerful tail sends the TARDIS rolling down the mountain.Changing into a boy again, Decky tries to chase it as it rolls further gathering snow as it does. Speed reading the manual the Doctor gives chase. The TARDIS snowball runs up the other side of the valley before slowing down and rolling back into the path of the Doctor and Decky! At the same time, deep within the mountain a Vendraxoo craft lays waiting to launch an attack. Panicked by the giant snowball that has approached them the emergency evacuation sequence of their craft is activated and they blast of the planet believing to be under attack from superior technology. The Doctor recognises the spacecraft as belonging to the Vendraxoo (“a nasty bunch”) and suggests some more skiing to Decky who isn’t impressed.
