This story tells about three of the skiers who were caught in a real disaster. That story began with three snowboarders, stranded on a high-altitude crane at the New England ski resort. It ends up with a real nightmare for these skiers because the resorts have been closed because of the winter storm, which may turn things off completely.
Reinterpretation of The Snow Queen, Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairytale as an animated, female empowerment musical.

A stuck chairlift just doesn't exert the same primal terror as a roiling sea, and to make up the difference, Green would need a better cast and sharper dialogue than he has here.
Adam Green's taut, toe-curling survival thriller is better than it should be: the concept and the characters' behaviour are mostly plausible, the script is dark and funny, the acting is adequate, and the wildlife scenes are convincing.
