A Wall of White: The True Story of Heroism and Survival in the Face of a Deadly Avalanche

A Wall of White: The True Story of Heroism and Survival in the Face of a Deadly Avalanche - Jennifer Woodlief

A Wall of White: The True Story of Heroism and Survival in the Face of a Deadly Avalanche


This "mesmerizing tale of human courage and heroism" (Nando Parrado, author of Miracle in the Andes) follows the astonishing ordeal of survival during an avalanche in California.

In 1982, at the Alpine Meadows ski resort near Lake Tahoe, an unforeseeable confluence of natural events created the conditions for an unimaginable disaster. Millions of tons of snow flowed into the ski area and parking lot beyond, engulfing unsuspecting vacationers out for a walk as well as resort employees working in spite of the danger, killing seven and leaving one victim buried alive under the snow.

At the center of this wrenching tale of human versus nature is ski patrolman Larry Heywood and his team, who heroically searched for a young woman trapped for five days underneath the suffocating snow--a tale of survival that is itself an exploration of the capacity of courage.

A Wall of White is the quintessential American story--a testament to the unwavering dedication of a band of rebel rescuers, driven only by a commitment to saving lives, battling not just extreme conditions but seemingly impossible odds.
