@monroville Yeah, unfortunately, this was the disaster movie formula to a tee : Introduce tons of stars and has-beens, Show tiny glimpse that something may go wrong while they all date, dance, dine, ski etc About halfway through disaster strikes lengthy disaster scenes with panicked idiots screaming and dying Actual fun part of surviving/escaping (about 20 % of running time).

Wouldn't it have been neat/better if the Avalanche "started" the film, and the rest was the cast/survivors trying to make it until someone could (heh heh) "weather" the snow and ice to get to them? You know.. like ALIVE but without the plane.
