Why didn't they throw their skis on the truck when it was below them?
Why didn't the guy use the skis to hit the wolves?
Why didn't they try climbing up before dropping down an impossible distance?
Why not make a rope out of their coats and clothes to get closer to the ground before dropping?
Why do some wolves look like German Shepards?
Why is there a man-eating wolf pack hunting in the middle of a ski resort in the middle of the day?
Why do people like to watch teenagers terrorized? Guess it wouldn't be as entertaining watching senior citizens freeze to death - but the conversation would be more interesting.
Why am I watching this dumb movie?

Why?
Dumb characters.
I'm not a survival expert but I have walked and camped in sub zero temperatures in the Scottish Highlands so I do know a bit about common sense in low temperatures. The female character lost a glove but it didn't occur to her to put her bare hand in a pocket or double up with her remaining glove. The character that didn't jump appeared to be wearing an acrylic "woolly hat" which is not sufficient for sub zero temperatures, especially wet as it became later on, but for most of the film the hood on his jacket, which would have helped to keep his head warm, was down. The character that jumped leapt off the ski lift chair but if he had held onto the foot rest and dropped from there he would have fell 6 or 7 feet less and reduced his chance of serious injury. They were so dumb it was impossible for me to care if they died or not, in fact they deserved to die for being so dumb. Less dumb characters would have had some audience sympathy but not these three stooges.
great premise but inferior execution
Dan Walker (Kevin Zegers), girlfriend Parker O'Neil (Emma Bell), and best friend Joe Lynch (Shawn Ashmore) bribe their way onto the last run on the slopes. They're closing early due to an incoming storm. A miscommunication among the operators leads to a shutdown while the threesome are still on the lift. It's Sunday and they reopen on Friday. Dan decides to jump and breaks his leg in the process. That's when the wolves come.
It's a great premise. The three young actors are capable. The story is a bit lacking but the dialog is its major failings. It is nowhere near sharp enough. The characters don't come off well with the poor quality of the banter. With this premise, the meat has to come from exceptional dialog. I'm thinking Tarantino. Adam Green is no Tarantino.
