- 2008033896 abstract "Journalist Jennifer Woodlief's gripping account of the deadliest ski-area avalanche in North American history and the woman who survived in the face of incalculable odds. The unprecedented avalanche of March 31, 1982, at Alpine Meadows ski resort near Lake Tahoe, California, was a once-in-a-lifetime catastrophe. An unforeseeable confluence of natural events created the conditions for an unimaginable disaster--and, in one woman's case, an astonishing ordeal of survival. Woodlief movingly tells the story of the massive slab avalanche that killed seven and left one victim buried alive for five days under the suffocating snow while a ski patrol team and a search-and-rescue dog struggled to save her.--From publisher description.".
