Being an avid skier, this was one of my favorite books when I was in junior high. It focuses on competition between two brothers- the oldest does everything perfectly with younger brother Chris left in his dust. When Chris decides to spend a day out by himself, hoping to get some game for supper that evening he gets caught in an avalanche. He then wonders what his brother would do in this same situation in hopes he can survive until help comes.
Chris Palmer is always competing with his brother. Hotshot Terry, star athlete, is their fathers pride andjoy, and Chris is tired of being number two. Butif he hadn't been trying to show up Terry, the accident would never have happened
Chris was just going out for a little skiing and a little hunting. The hungry coyote seemed an easy mark, and big brother Terry had never shot one. Then the echoing crack of his rifle sets offf a thundering avalanche, and Chris is buried alive under a mountain of snow. No one saw him go under. He is all alone.

A really good story. A very quick read.
