What would you have done?

They made a very bad decision. They bribed some poor guy and even when he said it wasn't safe (with the bad weather coming in), the stupid kids insisted.

But lets pretend I am.

I'll pretend I'm that girl. I'd wait for morning (without throwing away any warm clothes, zip up the jacket, cover hands and anything else I could. When morning came I'd try and climb the cable any way that I could (with hands or hands & feet) and make it to the pole and climb down the ladder. Once down I'd look for a weapon, make one if necessary, or if someone was still in the lift, ask for them to throw down a ski stick or two. Wait for the other two (or one) guys to follow suit and then we'd all go down together (safety in numbers and all that).

I'm not weird. I'm limited edition.

I see two options.
1. Remove your jackets and zip them together, thus making one big sleeping bag, all three share body heat (with the girl, preferably, in the middle), wait til morning and slide down the cable to the ladder.

2. Remove your jackets and zip them together, then one person use them like a rope to lower themselves down to as close to the ground as possible, thus making the drop a lot less dangerous.

Of course, they never should have been there to start with. You never want to be the last one down the hill. Just too risky.

If we all liked the same movie, there'd only be one movie!

I asked myself the same question several times during and after this movie and I honestly don't know. It would be one thing to be stuck in a buildy - even a shack - but being up on the ski lift changes everything. You have to get down because you're freezing to death, but can't because of the wolves.

the clothing-rope is a really good idea, I didn't think of that. I was also thinking maybe Lynch could have taken his ski boots off, and put his arms in them for protection to make it across the cable, since it's L shaped it would catch it in the crook. i guess the only problem is that it would make it difficult to climb up the chair.

I kept thinking while watching the movie, why didn't he jump with his board on (ski's would have been better)and even at an angle, it would have broke his fall. Or use a ski to slide down the cable or try to tear off a piece of the lift chair, like a piece off the back and use that to slide down to the other chair etc. But hey, don't we all have bright idea's when we watch movies and think we could have done it better and lived? lol

I was disappointed that Joe turned into wolf tartar.

The clothing rope would work best for me. I'm too heavy and lack the arm strength for the cable-climb option. Tie all the clothes together and hang the ski pole by its strap to the last item of clothing, preferably a jacket that you could tie an arm through the ski pole strap. Slide down the "rope" as far as possible and hang by your arms. You at least reduce the distance to the ground. Then do the drop-and-roll thing. Find a heavy branch to fight off the wolves, and slide down the mountain as fast as possible to get help for your friends who now lack clothing. Scary to think about...

I would have made a rope out of clothing and climbed down. Once on the ground, I would have said "boo" to make the wolves scatter, as North American wolves aren't aggressive towards people (checking wiki, the last person attacked by wolves in the lower 48 states was in 1989). I would have then walked down the hill, broken into the resort office and made some cocoa.

Well, I can tell ya one thing -- jumping would NOT have been my plan A...that's gotta be like Plan G...at least. I'm pretty good at the Monkey bars -- I think I would have tried the climbing down the rope thing, at least, before the jumping thing.

I would have also waited until morning -- let the sun make the snow nice and slushy.

I didn't understand why that guy didn't at least wait a day. I mean, they already miraculously survived the nighttime snowstorm -- they could have at least said, "OK -- let's give it until morning...then figure it out..."
