(Inspirational/Teen/Nonfiction) Laura V. Hilton 04/06/2004 Christmas vacation in the mountains should be a peaceful time of celebration: softly falling snow, cozy fireplaces, and maybe even old-fashioned caroling. So why does Ricky Kidd find himself -- after only one lesson -- strapped to skis and facing the almost vertical drop of Kamikaze Run on the first day of his Colorado mountains vacation? Naturally, because of his younger brother, Joel. Unfortunately, the ski resort holds something much more terrifying than either Joel or out-of-control skiing. The "ghost" of a gold miner's daughter, buried alive a century earlier, has been roaming the abandoned shafts beneath the ski runs! Not only that, but each eerie appearance warns of the next mysterious accident in a series that now threatens to close the entire ski hill. And the closer Ricky Kidd stumbles to the truth, the closet he gets to the time of his own burial deep in a mountain. Worse, if he doesn't survive, his friends will die next!
