About this listen

With his marriage on the rocks, a father takes his son skiing for the weekend. After insisting on staying just a bit longer - despite a growing blizzard - the boy's father finds they're snowed in at the resort, the road blockaded by state troopers. To what lengths will he go to keep his marriage intact?

Short story of a "father / son day" out.

Great short story about a father having his "custody" day with his son and sharing the skiing experience. The Dad has so much to teach the son and the snow has lessons for both of them.

Slice of life - 3.5 stars

Short slice of life vignette about a dad and son who go skiing and get stuck in a snowstorm on the way back, threatening to make the boy's mom mad. You can get a great sense of the dad's personality in this story. It wasn't super exciting or eventful but it was interesting enough.

Powder

This short story is hard to rate, because there wasn't much to it. I am hoping that it will get better as we read more.
