Matt and his group of friends go on a skiing trip to the Rocky Mountains of Denver Colorado when there caught up in an avalanche.

I didn't like that Matt made silly mistakes

and that Leah with all her survival instincts was able to forget the crucial universal knowledge, where there's a cub there's going to be its mother.

. Overall, it was enjoyable. I would recommend to readers that like non gritty survival books, similar to Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.
