YA
Teens back-country skiing through a dangerous Rocky Mountain pass drift off track and find themselves trapped by an avalanche. What was supposed to be a chance for protagonist Matt to get away from his flake of a dad becomes a trial of survival in the wild. After a slow start, the tension builds into a harrowing wilderness adventure.

YA
Emma goes on a week-long camping trip with a group of fellow teenagers. But when a sudden storm kills several, including their guide, she and three others must find their way to safety. Only Emma receives much in the way of character depth, while the other three are essentially caricatures. That said, the survival drama remains taut enough to keep pages turning.
