While they stood at the final step of the staircase could they see something marvelous. As far as their eyes could possibly reach there laid a pack of the purest snow that was as fresh as it could be. A snow which was almost like a cloud in both its density and its whiteness. It was just a breathtaking sight to behold for them. They were high up on the mountain, even above the clouds and watched over to the bright blue skies. But in the distance there were darker clouds to be seen.
