Plot summary

Eager to go out for one last session before night falls during a skiing trip on the slopes of snow-capped Mount Holliston, the young snowboarders, Parker and Dan, and skier, Joe, talk the chairlift operator into letting them up. However, the ski lift comes to a halt before the trio gets off, trapping the friends, and leaving them dangling nearly fifteen metres above hard snowpack. Now--confined in a cramped space amid thick darkness, while knowing that the resort will be closed for the next five long days--the unfortunate thrill-seekers are up against the mountain's freezing temperatures, and a ravenous pack of wolves waiting for their slightest mistake. Can they survive when there's nowhere to go but down?—Nick Riganas
