Ski Weekend by Rektok Ross

Six teens (and a dog) embark on a ski weekend. They will be driving to their destination. Sam our narrator is dreading the trip but feels obligated to go and keep watch on her injury prone brother and his best friend. They along with 3 other students pile into an SUV and head out on their way but the weather has other plans.

A crash into a snowbank changes their lives. They are stranded. There is no cell phone coverage and the snow is coming down harder. They have limited food and water supplies. Temps dip further down and it doesn't appear that they will be rescued any time soon.  The groups decide they need to rescue themselves but while out on their mission Sam ends up getting injured and returns to the SUV. As supplies dwindle and Sam gets sicker, the situation becomes more dire and they group needs to make one life changing decision after another. 

Ross has written a novel that pulls you into the story. You can almost feel the bitter cold and the anxiety the surrounds the group. Each character is written in a unique manner. Ski Weekend is full of suspense making this survivalist thriller a must read.
