Synopsis: At Mount Holliston, snowboarders Dan Walker, his girlfriend Parker O'Neil and his best friend Joe Lynch don't have enough money to buy lift tickets.

However, Jason needs to resolve a problem and his colleague misunderstands his instructions and stops the lift.

When they see that the lights of the ski resort had been turned off, they need to make a choice: leave the chairlift or freeze to death.

- But it itches now.

I know, but if you rub your face

it's gonna come off.

Will you just hurry up up there?!

Okay, I'm trying.

Hold on.

Sh*t.

Be careful.

Okay, just don't talk.

I can do this.

Oh, I got you.

Sh*t, it's slippery.

Parker:

Don't look down.

My boots are so heavy.

The cable is cutting

through my gloves.

Do you got it?

Oh, my hands.

Oh my God.

What?

What's wrong?

Oh my God.

Okay.

Parker:

What is it? What?

I got you.

I got you, you're okay.

I got you.

You're okay.

What's wrong?

- What's wrong?

- Don't look down.

- What?

- Don't look. Don't look.

- Lynch.

- Yeah, man?

Don't you let her look.

- Don't you f***ing let her look.

- Dan!

- Shh.

- Dan!

No, I won't, man.

Don't.

Don't you let her look!

Dan!

Let me look.

I need to look.

I need to look!

No!

No! Dan!

Let me look!

- No!

- Oh my God. Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh God.

Think about Dan.

Shh shh.

Don't listen to it.

Just don't listen to it.

Don't listen to it.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Dan!

No, Dan.

No!

cables cut through my gloves.

My hands are wasted.

Why'd you let him jump?

You can't be serious.

It was too far.

No, he said he could do it.

You didn't try to stop him.

I can't believe this.

Are you trying to blame me?

No.

No, I'm not blaming you.

I mean, you're his girlfriend.

I didn't see you trying to throw

yourself in front of him.

He wasn't going to listen to me.

But he would have listened to me?

No, I said it was a bad idea.

I said it was too far a drop.

I didn't hear any ideas from you

except for crying about it.

Don't you f***ing blame me.

You've been his girlfriend for what,

a year?

Maybe?

I've known him

my entire f***ing life.

You should've...

- you should've...

- What?

Say it!

It should've been me.

- No.

- That's what you want to say.

No, that's...

that's not what I said.

It's okay. I get it.

I get it.

It should have been me

down there, right?

'cause who gives a f*** about me?

No.

You know what?

If we hadn't spent the entire day

on the f***ing bunny hill

watching you fall on your ass

we would have done some runs

and we could have gone home.

I'm sorry.

Or maybe if you hadn't

f***ed with our thing.

Maybe if you had just stayed home

and not tried to force yourself

into every little aspect of his life

my best friend

wouldn't be dead right now.

That's...

not fair.

That's not fair.

It's not fair

that my best friend is dead.

He's not coming back.

He's gone.

- I'm sorry.

- F*** you!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Lynch.

Please.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it, okay?

I didn't mean it.

Lynch:

Oh sh*t.

What were my numbers?

- 786...

- 7860.

Yeah.

I'm so gonna call that girl

when I get back.

You know what?

I'm gonna ask her to marry me.

No messing around.

I'm just gonna call her and I'm gonna

be like, "Hey, Shannon.

It's Joe from the chairlift.

Will you marry me?"

We'll get a house,

have two kids

and a dog named Steve.

- Who's gonna pay for the house?

- She will.

She's got a great job.

Parker:

What does she do?

Lynch:

Orthodontist.

Parker:

Orthodontists make a lot of money.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sure the two of you

will be really happy.

Lynch:

Who names their dog Steve?

I will.

Steve's a people name.

Says who?

You don't, like,

go to someone's house

and have them say,

"Here, meet my dog Steve. "

Why not?

I think Steve's a good name for a dog.

Here, meet my cat chris.

No cat.

Just a dog...

Steve.

Shaina must be so hungry.

What kind of pizza should we get?

The poor thing.

She's just a puppy.

She's not gonna understand

that I died.

She's gonna think that I left,

that I forgot about her.

She's probably waiting

by the front door right now.

At every little noise

that she hears

in the hallway,

she's probably

cocking her little head

to the side

wondering when

I'm gonna come in.

But I won't.

I won't come in.

And she's gonna...

she's gonna starve to death.

She's gonna starve to death

waiting for me to come in.

It's all my fault.

She's not gonna starve to death.

You're not gonna die, Parker.

I'm the only one with a key

to my apartment, though.

Yeah, I know, but the neighbors

will kick the door down

if she doesn't stop barking.

Someone will figure it out.

She'll be just fine.

So will you.

So will we.

I just want to see my mom.

And my dad.

Ah!

I thought I was dreaming.

I thought I was dreaming this.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

Your frostbite is getting worse.

- Really? How bad...

- Don't touch it. It's bad.

It doesn't itch as much anymore.

Okay, don't touch your face though.

When we get out of here

I'm gonna get you to a doctor.

- They'll fix it right away.

- You have...

You have red marks on your face too.

They'll fix me up too.

Don't. Don't.

Don't touch it. It's bad.

Lynch:

Well, it's the morning.

Maybe someone will come up now.

Parker:

For what?

Mountain maintenance.

I don't know.

Besides, if we don't show up for class

people will start looking for us.

No one knows we're here.

I didn't tell anyone

I was coming.

Help!

We need help!

If I can get to that pole

I can climb down the ladder.

How are you gonna climb

with your hands like that?

We won't make it another night.

Are you sure you don't want to...

wait a few hours?

I mean, maybe you're right.

Maybe someone's coming in today.

Parker:

The sun feels good.

First we're freezing,

now we're gonna get sunburned.

Be careful what you wish for, right?

How come you

never have a girlfriend?

Lynch:

How am I supposed to answer that?

Parker:

I just mean you're a decent guy.

And chicks dig you.

But you never

have a relationship.

Lynch:

I had a serious girlfriend once.

- High school doesn't count.

- No.

No, post high school.

Freshman year.

Who?

This girl Annie.

We met at freshman orientation.

We emailed each other

during the summer.

When we got back to school

it was like we were dating.

Oh.

I just really felt it

with her, you know?

We were into the same stuff,

which was cool.

She was way into Aerosmith.

I'd seen 'em five times.

She'd seem 'em eight.

What happened?

She, uh...

had the same favorite

movie as me... ET.

It was like soulmates,

that sh*t you read about.

So what happened?

Same old sh*t.

No.

You know what happened?

She...

she liked another guy.

This fraternity douchebag

named Dean.

She dumped you for a frat guy?

No.

No, I dumped her.

We were in the cafeteria, right?

You know, we were having lunch,

facing each other.

I was facing the wall and she was

facing everybody behind me.

And I kept seeing her, like,

you know, looking at somebody.

You know, like kind of laughing.

And I was just like,

you know,

"What's so funny?"

You know?

And, you know, like,

"What the hell is going on?"

And she said...

she said,

"Dean's making fun of you. "

So I turn around and I'm ready to

just beat the sh*t out of this guy.

But all I can see are these

random f***ing people.
