Matt and Nicole started to climb onto one of the snowmobiles while José and Britney used the other. Even though James would have preferred to have Nicole with him, he knew they didn’t have the time for him to fight with Matt over it. Getting Britney to the resort before the infection got out of control was all that mattered.

Just as they were about to take off, James heard a “whumph” sound. Warning bells sounded in his head at the all-too-familiar sound of the powder compressing and shifting. An avalanche was imminent.

“We need to take off now. There’s an avalanche coming,” James shouted, as he twisted the handle to make the snowmobile go. He continued to glance over his shoulder to make sure the rest of the group was following behind him. What he didn’t expect to see in the distance was a slab of snow sliding down the mountain towards his cabin. Within a few seconds, it engulfed his summer home, erasing any sign that it was ever there. He pushed the throttle to full speed, praying they could outrun the snowy torrent behind them, but as a rescue officer, he knew better. Avalanches could travel faster than 100 miles per hour, which far outpaced their snowmobiles.

James braced for the impact, knowing that at any moment they would be overtaken by the white fury. Even though he’d spent more than half his life in the snow, nothing prepared him for the feeling of the freezing cold ice smacking into him. It felt like a ton of bricks thrown at him.

James and Siku were flung from their snowmobile. The avalanche tossed him to and fro, almost like being in a wave at the ocean. By the time he finally stopped getting bounced around, his body hurt all over. He could feel the snow pushing in around him. He wasn’t sure how far below the snowline he was, but his first step was to create an air pocket around his face. Once that was done, he started to gingerly probe the area, trying to figure out how far he would need to dig out to get free.

A couple of minutes passed, and he heard faint barking. Siku. She’d be able to find him and dig him out. He wished he could call to her, but he knew it was impossible. Instead, he prayed her training would kick in and she would search for his scent.

The barking grew louder, telling him that his K9 partner must have figured out where he was. A few moments later, James saw Siku’s familiar snout coming towards his face. She licked him in excitement, then continued to dig around him until he was able to break free. James reached his arms around her neck, hugging her with all the gratitude he could muster. “Siku, you just earned yourself the biggest T-bone steak of your life.”

Even though every muscle in his body groaned in protest, James stood to his feet. He glanced around the area and noticed that one of the balloons had deployed.
