(4) K-3 Outdoor Adventures series. Illustrated by Wendell Minor. A new snowfall has Axel eager to go snowboarding, but not until he, his father (a snow patrol officer), and their dog assess the potential for avalanches. Kelly, Axel's snowboarding rival, triggers an avalanche but is saved by a warning from the dog. The physics of snow stability are awkwardly explained in the story. The versatile and realistic illustrations show action and landscape.
