Caught in a blizzard, the Darcy family is tense as they drive to their cabin in the Colorado mountains. When Mr. Darcy decides to take a short cut on a rarely used road, the car slides into a tree, injuring both parents. With no chance of rescue, Danielle and her brother Jake have only one choice: to climb to the manned weather station atop Mt. Remington. An exciting, well-written adventure. The bickering between the siblings is realistically portrayed, as are the improvised mountaineering techniques.
