Peak Survival is the second book in the Take it to the Extreme Series by Pam Withers. It is an extreme adventure story set in the spectacular mountains near Whistler, B.C. Raging River, the first book in this series, was released in October 2003, and made the BC Bestseller list within weeks. The adventure continues with Peak Survival when friends Jake, Peter and Moses spend their spring break helicopter skiing. While the boys set off on their adventure, Fiona, a snowboarding fanatic from England is embarking on a trip of her own on a nearby mountain peak. Bad weather and an accident leave the boys and Fiona stranded. They realize they must work together and use their survival skills to make it back to safety. The group faces every challenge from surviving the hazards of the backcountry (such as avalanches and hidden crevasses) to finding food and shelter in the cold. The teenagers must join together to overcome their fears and face challenging perils in an adventure of a lifetime.
