Take it to the Extreme - Peak Survival

Peak Survival
Published February 2004 | ISBN: 1-55285-5309

When Jake, Peter and their friend Moses head out for a Western Canadian helicopter-skiing and snowboarding adventure at the same time as fifteen-year-old Fiona is flown to a nearby peak for a snowboarding descent, little do the two parties suspect that they will shortly become a stranded party of four, faced with a perilous descent to civilization. A helicopter crash, avalanche, crevasse fall, wild animal attack and spooky stay in a ghost-town guarantees readers will stay riveted.

	Because snowboarding is so easy to master, many inexperienced converts head directly to the biggest jump in the park, or into the backcountry. Peak Survival sneaks in a load of backcountry survival skills while weaving a story of teens caught in a bad situation—and finding the guts and composure to survive. The lessons are delivered with realistic descriptions of how it feels to be cold, hungry, and injured. Peak Survival leaves the reader with a new respect for the unpredictable power and awesome beauty of a high alpine environment.
	— Cindy Kleh author of Snowboarding Skills, and a snowboard instructor and medallist in boardercross, GS and slalom for women

	Super heli-snowboarding and skiing scenes, as good as anything in a Warren Miller movie all rolled into a first-rate plot of tension and backcountry challenge. Realistic and gripping, a must-read!

	Captivating! Readers will find themselves poised on precipices, swooping down powder slopes and sharing adventures with the novel’s characters.
