About this Item

Tommy looked almost as scared as when they were trapped in Smuggler's Cave last fall. All right, he said. Jake and Lexie high-fived each other. But you have to go slow, said Tommy. And wait for me if I get tired. Don't worry, Tommy, said Lexie. We won't let anything happen to you. She grinned. Wildcat Run, here we come. For their last run of the day, Jake, Tommy and Lexie set out to ski down Easy Street. But when Lexie and Jake convince Tommy to try Wildcat Run instead, the young skiers encounter more than they expected. Will they be rescued, or will they have to spend the night alone in cougar country?
