--description--

Given a trick name consisting of two words, determine if it is a valid freestyle skiing trick name.

A trick is valid if the first word is in the list of valid first words, and the second word is in the list of valid second words.

• The two words will be separated by a single space.

Valid first words:

"Misty"
"Ghost"
"Thunder"
"Solar"
"Sky"
"Phantom"
"Frozen"
"Polar"

Valid second words:

"Twister"
"Icequake"
"Avalanche"
"Vortex"
"Snowstorm"
"Frostbite"
"Blizzard"
"Shadow"

--hints--

isValidTrick("Polar Vortex") should return true.

assert.isTrue(isValidTrick("Polar Vortex"));

isValidTrick("Solar Icequake") should return true.

assert.isTrue(isValidTrick("Solar Icequake"));

isValidTrick("Thunder Blizzard") should return true.

assert.isTrue(isValidTrick("Thunder Blizzard"));

isValidTrick("Phantom Frostbite") should return true.

assert.isTrue(isValidTrick("Phantom Frostbite"));

isValidTrick("Ghost Avalanche") should return true.

assert.isTrue(isValidTrick("Ghost Avalanche"));

isValidTrick("Snowstorm Shadow") should return false.

assert.isFalse(isValidTrick("Snowstorm Shadow"));

isValidTrick("Solar Sky") should return false.

assert.isFalse(isValidTrick("Solar Sky"));
