Though their momentum has worn off enough that he no longer has to hold on to help her balance, Ezra's hold on Hera remains just as it is, warm and secure and absolutely not a hug. He's just supporting her in case she slips, that's all.
(He might still be so glad to have her here that he'll take any excuse he can get for physical contact and reassurance.)
"Alright, sure. You'll love it once you get the hang of it, I promise!" He feels pretty confident about that. Hera does like fast things, after all, and there's not much that's as wild and free as a mad slide down a hill that depends entirely on your balance and skill to keep you from planting yourself in the snow. "First, look down at your feet and mine. See how I'm standing right now? Not too stiff, not too loose. You need to be able to bend, or turn, or shift your weight almost without thinking. Kind of like when you're flying and you have to be prepared to reach for controls or adjust settings depending on what's happening."
