Oh.

Sure is humbling to see,
isn't it?

Always is.

What was the top speed?

Got that at 122 miles an hour.

I think we got
all the data we need.

Okay.

Well, let's pack it up, then.

It's so early to be seeing
such extreme avalanche danger.

Yes. Snow's come early
this year.

Have you seen weather patterns
like this before?

Well, not exactly, but similar.

Weather patterns
are changing globally,

so it's all a bit new to me.

I'm gonna get a coffee.

- Can I get you one?
- Sure.

Thanks.

Dr. Lawrence speaking.

Heather, it's Eric Johnson.

Eric!

How are things in Fernie?

Actually,
that's why I'm calling.

I'm listening.

I have a big favor to ask.

Please tell me you're joking.

I know, it's bad timing.

Bad?

We are supposed
to leave tomorrow.

Couldn't you go
in a couple of weeks?

They need me to install
the forecasting equipment

and train their staff

before they open
the backcountry to skiers.

Of course, they do.

The weather's
been out of whack recently

and it's become

a whole insurance thing
for them.

Eric said it can't wait.

Plus, installing my system
on their mountain

will be great exposure.

Which is exactly what I need
to secure another grant.

I'm sorry to cancel,

but I have to go.

I was just so excited

about spending a week in Maui.

If I have to listen

to one more model
tell me how to do my job,

I am going to lose my mind.

Plus, Charlie and I

could probably use
a little break,

it's been intense for us.

How's everything going
with that?

On the fertility front?

Well, nothing to report,

except I am out of money

and this my last shot
of getting pregnant.

Which I thought
the Hawaiian weather

and time with my sister
would help with.

Well, why not just come
to Fernie Glacier with me?

It'll be just as good.

Just as good as warm sun
and clear waters?

Yeah.

They're putting me up
at this five-star resort...

Well, in a mountain-five-star
sort of way.

What's the weather in Glacier
right now?

Last I checked,
it was 12 degrees.

Uh, no, I can't tan
in 12-degree weather.

Come on, Riley.

It's been forever since
we've been on a sisters' trip.

And Fernie is one of

the most beautiful mountains
on Earth.

Well, I'm not arguing that.

I have to work,

but we'll have so much fun.

We'll go snowmobiling,
dog-sledding, skiing,

hot-tubbing.

Ooh, maybe I can set you up

with some
hot, rugged-mountain type.

Okay, that wasn't
exactly on the list.

Well, it should be.

Does that mean you're coming?

This is exciting.

Oh, this looks great. See?

Who needs Hawaii?

Oh, it's so beautiful.

- Heather!
- Hey! Eric!

- It's so good to see you.
- It's so good to see you!

This is my sister, Riley.
Riley, this is Eric.

We're friends from college.

Oh! How good friends?

Heather actually
introduced me to my wife.

No way, she introduced me
to my husband.

Oh. Avalanche expert
and matchmaker?

You got a pretty nice resume, Heather.

If only she was as good
at matchmaking for herself.

She's still single, I take it?

- Mm-hmm.
- Still happily single.

Still using
the same lingo, too, huh?

Oh, my gosh,
you're as bad as Riley.

Come on in.

Seriously, though,

I really appreciate you coming,
and on such short notice.

With the storm coming in,

flights are gonna start
getting canceled,

and I'll feel
way more comfortable

opening the backcountry

with your forecasting system
all set up and ready.

Well, like I said,

I'm excited for the opportunity.

Well, with global warming
and the snowpack this year,

our insurance feels more secure
with you here, too.

But, mostly, I'm super excited

about you training
our Mountain Rescue team.

You know,
getting them up to speed

with the advantages

of incorporating
your technology with their work.

Once they see how it works,

everyone will be on board.

Yeah, um...

I should probably fill you in
on something about that.

Uh-oh, what's that?

Well, it's more of a someone
than a something.

You might get some pushback
from our director.

Why would your director
give me pushback?

It's complicated...

But the good news is

I think you might be able
to win him over.

Well, thanks for the heads-up.
I'll do my best.

You know,
our Mountain Rescue team

is doing
an avalanche demonstration.

Maybe you two wanna check it out

after you get settled?

Absolutely.

Great.
I'll check you guys in.

Sounds good.

Uh, hey, Jacinda,
we got two new guests.

Hi, how are you today?

Good, thank you.

I'm so glad we're here together.

Me too.

I mean, this place is cold,
but it's absolutely...

Hot, hunky, and super-hot
straight ahead.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Chris Parker,

and I wanna welcome you all

to our avalanche-rescue
demonstration.

Great voice.

Strong jawline.
Five o'clock shadow.

Bet he's super ripped
under that jacket of his.

Shh.

Now, our avalanche dogs...

Or "avi dogs," as we call them...

Are some of

the most important members
of our avalanche team.

Now, these pups...

They're currently in training,

but once they graduate,

they will officially become
part of Mountain Rescue.

I know what you're thinking.

"These pups are too cute
to be rescue dogs."

True, they're cute,

but one day soon,

they're gonna be out there
in the backcountry saving lives.

Now, this here is Mogul,
one of our veteran dogs.

There is nothing
Mogul can't find

that's underneath the snow.

What do you think, buddy,
you wanna try it out?

Okay. Ready?

Go get 'em!

Nice.

I've hidden
a backpack in the snow

that simulates a person
buried in an avalanche.

Now, Mogul is trained
to sniff out and locate.

Oh.

Look at him go!

Good boy, Mogul!

Whoo!

Atta boy.

All right, can I please have
a volunteer?

Oh, get your hand up.

- He needs a volunteer.
- I don't want to.

Volunteer
for a ruggedly-handsome,

great-haired, sexy-eyed
mountain man? Please.

Riley, it's not the time.

Here's your volunteer!
Right here.

Great, come on up.

Thanks a lot.

You're so welcome.

What is your name?

- Heather.
- Heather.

Thank you
for volunteering, Heather.

Glad to be of service.

Okay, what we're gonna do now

is simulate someone
being buried in an avalanche.

Not sure you can actually
simulate that, can you?

Expert in the field?

I know a thing or two.

Wow. Well, I'm sure you do,

but I think I wanna teach you
just a little bit more.

How's that sound?

Well, all right, then.

Okay.

So, what we're gonna do
is bury Heather in the hole,

so we can demonstrate
what an actual rescue is like.

And just to clarify,
he's not gonna bury me-bury me,

there's a pre-built hole
within there

that I'll safety be in.

I'm pretty sure
they assumed that.

However, it's never safe
to assume anything

when it comes
to avalanche-rescue missions.

That's true.

Okay.

Well, I want you
to hold this. Okay?

And hold this strong
when you're rescued.

You got it?

Hold it strong?

Hold it strong.
Let's go.

All right, well, there you go.

Just feet first in there.

All right, really good.

Okay. You got this.

Should you ever be buried
in an avalanche,

within minutes,

you'll start
to run out of oxygen.

Now, most people
in this situation will panic,

which is natural,

but remaining calm
will preserve your oxygen

and increase the amount of time
you can survive under the snow.

Now, these extra
critical minutes

gives us more time
to get to you,

which could mean the difference
between life and death.

All right, Mogul, search!

Come on.
Here you go, buddy.

Nice. Nice.
Good job.

Oh, wow.

Good boy!

Good boy, good boy.

Here we go. Oh!

All right, let's have
a big round of applause

for our brave volunteer,
Heather!

Whoo!

And for the heroes
of our rescue,

Mogul,

and the newest member
of our team, Bosco!

Wow, very impressive.

This is my sister, Riley.

Oh, hey, Riley.
Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you!

I'm curious.

Uh, your gloves,
do they, um, hold the heat?

Hold the heat?

Yeah, keep the heat.

You know, are they...
are they warm?

Just, uh, thinking
of getting my sister a pair.

I don't need any need
any gloves, Riley.

Yes, you do.
You think you don't, but you do.

Uh, yeah, they're...
They're great.

They... They hold the heat.

I'd... I'd recommend a pair,
if you wanna get some.

Can I, uh, try them on?

Just for a second.

A mere minute.

Oh, yes, those are warm.

Very warm. Dry.

Plus nice hands, too.

Big hands.

Uh, okay.

I notice that
you don't have a ring on.

Just not into jewelry.

Oh. Like, you're married
and don't wear the ring? Or...

Okay. Don't mind my sister.

My mom used to call her
"Nosey Nelly".

No, uh, just, not married,

and, uh,
just don't like jewelry.

I'm married... happily married...

But my, uh, sister here,
AKA Miss Mountain Woman...

Miss Mountain Woman?

Well, I've never met
a mountain woman

from the city before.

Back to assumptions, I see.

Well, I've never
seen you here, for one.

And two, unless you live here...

I don't think you really
know much about avalanches.

Which I indicated I did earlier.

Heather actually knows a lot...

Dad, I think
Bosco might be hungry.

Oh, hey, kiddo.

Everyone, this is
my daughter, Samantha.

And she trains the avi pups.

Wow, trains the avalanche pups?

That's a very important job.

Thanks.
I like to think so.

Oh, I like your earrings.
I have the same ones.

Oh, looks like we both have
exceptional taste in jewelry.

Seems we do.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Samantha.

Nice to meet you, too.

All right, ladies,
we gotta take the dogs back.

I hope to see you guys around.

You never know.

Nice to meet you,
Miss Mountain Expert.

- Bye, Samantha.
- Bye.

Um...

did we seriously just meet

an ultra-hot,
single mountain-ski dude

that is totally your type,

and has the cutest tween and dog
one could ever ask for?

First off, did you see
how presumptuous he was?

That was him flirting.

That was him
being condescending.

Oh, come on.

I feel like you say that about
every guy that hits on you.

Not true.

That was not hitting on me.

And you have no idea
if he's single.

All you know
is that he's not married.

And, as I told you before,

I'm not here to find a guy.

Yeah, you never want
to find a guy,

hence why you are
perpetually single.

Because I prefer to prioritize
my work over men.

Is that so bad?

And spend quality time
with my big sis.

And, um, can we talk about
your hormones?

Because I know you said
the fertility treatments

lit them on fire.

You have no idea.

Aside from the fact

that I think you drooled
when you were talking to Chris.

- Oh, come on, you didn't?
- Mm-mm.

Okay.

There you go.
You comfy?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, bedtime question.

Tell me biggest thing
that made you smile today.

That's easy... being with you.

Well, it's the same for me
every day, sweetie.

Anything else?

Watching the dogs work.

It's just so cool
how smart they are.

Dogs that save lives.

Doesn't get smarter
in the canine department

than that.

And I'm happy you have them.

To help, you know,
keep you safe at work.

Hey, I'm as safe
as safe can be, sweetie.

Good.

All right.

Now, don't hold back

and give me everything you got
in the hug department.

You're so strong.

I love you, Dad.

I love you more, sweetie.

Okay. Night-night, okay?

This place hasn't changed a bit.

Wait, you've been here before?

During college.

Wes and I road-tripped
out here once.

Wes.

Wow, that's a name
I haven't heard in a while.

What's he up to these days?

Last I checked,
he was married with kids.

See, that could have been you.

Would have made Mom happy.

Seriously?

What?

Me being married to some dude

who hates the outdoors
and is a lazy thug

would not have made Mom happy.

You need to stop pushing
that old-fashioned narrative

about me needing
or finding a man.

You're starting to sound like
one of those old romance movies.

Relax, I just mean
that Mom wants grandkids,

and Wes could have been
that ticket.

Except you, my dear sister,
are gonna be that ticket.

So fill me in on that.

Where are we at?

Well, Charlie and I went to see
the fertility specialist

two weeks ago.

Got that last batch of swimmers
in and up,

with the hope
that it takes and sticks.

This is the third round of IVF?

Yeah.

And the last.

We've spent
every dollar we have.

We just simply
can't afford to go again.

Well, let's send positive vibes.

I'm afraid we might need
more than that.

Hey!

Hey, in there,
little Charlie swimmers,

if you can hear me,

just head north,

find those eggs,

and settle in.

You can do it.
I know you can do it.

Don't mind her,

she's just directing
my husband's swimmers.

If you know what I mean.

More water?

All right, looks like
everyone is all here.

Before we get started,

did everyone try
my baking in the back?

It's banana croissants
and the theme for today.

Look, I understand

some of you are still skeptical

about my baking
from last meeting,

but it's a hobby,

and hobbies take work.

And let me tell you,

my banana croissants
are tasting pretty good.

Am I right?

See, he knows.

Much better than
the peanut butter ones

from last week.

Okay, I'll just feed them
to the dogs,

and we'll get started.

Um, good morning, everyone.

Uh, I see some of you

may have noticed
we have a new face in the room.

And not only
is she a dear friend of mine,

she's also

one of North America's foremost
snow and avalanche experts.

Dr. Heather Lawrence

is here to tell us
about a system she developed

that's gonna take

avalanche forecasting
and risk management

to a new level.

Something we all know
is most welcome

in this neck of the woods,

and that's preventing
the loss of life

and keeping everyone safe.

So, let's give
a big, nice welcome

for Heather Lawrence.

Thanks, Eric.

Working here in Fernie

at amazing Rocky Mountain
Glacier National Park

has always been a dream of mine,

so I was very grateful
for the invitation.

To fully understand
what causes an avalanche,

we begin with one of nature's
most magnificent creations.

Um, something so small,
it's almost weightless.

So intricate in detail,

each one is an original
and exquisite work of art.

What I'm talking about,
of course, is the snowflake.

This is a stellar dendrite,

one of the most beautiful
of all snowflakes.

But it's also the most deadly.

On average,

27 people in the U.S.
die each year in an avalanche.

Unfortunately,
that number is trending up.

But avalanches
not only take lives,

but they destroy roads,

disrupt commerce,

and cause millions of dollars
in damage.

The economic impact
in recent years

has been significant.

So, how do we improve
our forecasting

to save more lives
and minimize damage?

By collecting more data

and utilizing
the latest technology

to process that data.

Well, hello, sunshine.

Oh, don't mind me,
I was supposed to be in Hawaii,

so just working on my tan.

Yeah, sounds good.

Talk soon.

Okay.

I just got off the phone
with my colleagues

in Yosemite, Grand Teton,
Olympic, even Whistler Mountain,

and they're all excited
about what you're doing here.

If your system
proves to be effective,

it's gonna be in high demand.

I appreciate you
putting the word out.

Well, of course.

Oh. And so,
we, uh, built your tower

and loaded the snowcat
with all your equipment

to get it up the mountain.

Amazing.

I'd also like to install
these smaller monitoring systems

in these other locations.

It'll allow us to collect
enough information

to cover the whole terrain.

Oh, I love it.

And once it's up and running,
we can open the backcountry.

'Cause we've had skiers

practically waiting
at the gates.

And, unfortunately,

we've had some boarders

sneaking in
to catch some fresh powder,

which is always worrisome.

I'm on it.

Well, great.

Uh, I'll get Chris Parker
to take you up.

He's our director.

Actually, I think
you've met him already.

We have?

Yeah, he's the one

who did the avalanche demo
the other day.

Oh!

Yes. Yes, I... I have.

I didn't realize
that was your director.

Oh, he sure is.

And, like I said,

he's the one that needs
a little bit of the convincing.

So, it's pretty good

that you two will get
some alone time.

Alone?

Like alone-alone?

Just the two of us?

Just the two of you.

- What's with the look?
- What look?

Oh, I know that look.

- No, you don't.
- I do.

Chris, it's Eric.

Dr. Lawrence is ready for you.

He's single by the way.

- Not that you asked.
- I didn't.

- Did you?
- Did I what?

I really appreciate
your help with this.

Yeah, it's just part of the job.

Of course.

You know, in the mountains,

there's no substitute
for experience,

knowledge,

human intuition.

People rely too much
on computers these days.

But up here?

You rely too much on computers,
it can cost you.

What are you, one of those
mountain-avalanche purists?

You bet your butt I am.

No disrespect
to the work you do, of course.

Clearly!

Clearly.

Anyway, the, uh,
station is up there.

Follow me?

Mm-hmm.

And there you have it.

Looks perfect.

Yeah, well, it better be.

Cost a mountain to build it.

Not that you asked,

but just so you know,

this equipment will send data
to the server,

where my algorithm
will assess the avalanche risk,

and give a far better reading

than we've ever been able
to achieve remotely.

Huh.

Well, I still don't trust it
over my own assessment.

And your own assessment
being...?

Oh, just call it
the old-school way.

First of all,

we take the temperature
from here.

Then, over here,

we have a magnifying glass
to look at the crystals.

And behind me over there
on the boards,

that's where we measure
the new snow and the settlement.

Then, with this,

we take a sample
and put it in a tube.

We weigh it

to get the water equivalent
and density.

And then we determine
if there's a weak layer,

which may cause an avalanche.

Like you said,

very old-school.

Well, call it what you want,

but I like to walk in it,
touch it, taste it.

You know,
measure it in real life,

not on a computer screen.

Hmm.

Fresh powder.

Yeah.

Yeah, the best of the best.

But I assumed you weren't,
you know, really a skier.

There we go
with the assumptions again.

Well, I'm just saying,
the mountain's...

the mountain's
pretty big, you know?

I was actually hoping
to get in a few runs.

Obviously, not backcountry,

but who can refuse powder?

Okay, we can take a few runs.

I'm sure I can get someone
from the office

to drive down the CAT.

That'd be great.

But you don't have
your equipment, do you?

My gear's in the CAT.

So's mine.

such a strong female skier.

Impressive.

For the record,

I'm just as good a scientist.

Just saying.

Thanks for your help, Chris.

What do you think?

Yeah, me too.

All right, let's go.

♪ Nothing can hold us back

Hey.

How'd it go?

Well...

Actually, save it,
we've gotta get going.

Where?

I booked us spa treatments.

Oh.

Riley, it's been a long day.

Well, perfect.

Hey, this trip
can't all be about work.

You promised me pampering.

And you, my dear sister,
need a massage.

Twist my arm.

Go get your bathing suit.
Hurry up!

Okay, you were right.

This isn't so bad.

I told you.

Cheers!

Cheers.

Heather and Riley?

Oh!

- We're ready for you.
- Okay.

Right this way.

It was a deer.

No. No, I mean...

Maybe it was an elk?

No. Remember,
elks' antlers go like this,

deer antlers go like this,

and moose ant...

- Oh!
- Oh.

Ah...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Hi, Chris!

Riley, right?

Good memory.

Yeah. Hi again.

Hi.

My sister booked
massages for us.

I figured.

Yeah, this is the place to come.

I have a, uh, old injury

and my back
freezes up sometimes,

so I come here
to work out the tension a bit.

Oh.

Well, I hope our run today
didn't make things worse.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But I would never tell.

You're a pretty good skier,
by the way.

I don't think I told you that.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Especially coming from someone

who really knows her way
around the mountain.

Oh, so now I know my way
around the mountain?

Interesting.

Mm-hmm.

Um...

Sorry, this is, uh, Sonya.

Looks like she's gonna be
your therapist today.

She's the best.

Great hands.

Because I just got
a session from her.

Um...

I'm gonna go.

We'll, uh...
We'll see you guys later.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Bye!

- Bye.
- Bye.

Heather Lawrence?

Yes, that's me.

Come on in.

Okay...

Go ahead and lie face down
on the table.

Okay.

So, how do you know Chris?

Oh, we just, uh...

we just met.

I'm here doing work
for mountain rescue and safety,

and he was helping me out today.

Oh, you just met?

I thought you two
might have known each other,

the way you laid your eyes
all over him.

Excuse me?

Looked at him, I mean.

Oh. I didn't realize
I was doing that.

Like Kourtney on Travis.

- Who?
- Kardashian.

Fave show.

Got it.

Um, is there any way
we could go a little bit softer?

Oh, yes, of course.

It's just that deep tissue
is kind of my speciality.

Especially after a long ski day.

Which you had today with Chris?

Oh, no, it was just...

it was just one run.

How did you meet again?

- Who?
- Cute Chris.

That's my nickname for him.

Um, work.

I met Cute Chris through work.

Which is?

I'm a scientist.

I specialize in
weather patterns,

avalanche forecasting, and such.

I see.

I don't think I can do
the deep tissue.

He and I just went
on a date, actually.

Just one date,
but it went really well.

He's very nice.

Very nice.

I see.

Nice is... is really good
for a first date.

We had sushi.

It was fresh, you know?

Caught straight from the river.

I'm okay with farmed,
but he likes wild.

Which I love.

Um...

it's still a little too hard.

So, tell me,
how long are you in town for?

Hey!

What happened to you?

Well, let's just say

I need a massage
from my massage.

Why?

Well, Sonya the masseuse

seems to be as infatuated
with Chris as you are.

No way.

Yes way.

Remind me next time

to steer clear of massages

from girls
my colleague is dating.

Wait, it's his girlfriend?

I don't know.

She said they went on a date.

TMI, if you ask me.

She's probably just jealous.

Why would she be jealous?

Ah, please.

And you don't think she noticed

the way you two
looked at each other?

Talking about your ski day.

Which, by the way,
you still haven't told me about.

But you two practically
set off the fire alarm.

The fire alarm?

The fire alarm.

You like him.

No, I don't.

- Yes, you do!
- I do not.

- Yes, you do.
- I do not. You know nothing.

I know everything,
I'm your sister.

And I know
we need to go for a steam.

Come on!

Oh, it's Charlie.
I'm just gonna get this.

Hey, sweetie.

Yeah, I miss you, too.

Yeah.

She's right here. Yep.

Charlie says hi.

Hi, Charlie.

Hey, do you mind grabbing me
something to go?

I'll meet you in the room.

- Yeah.
- Okay, thanks.

Yeah.

No, I'm... I'm trying
not to think about it.

No, sweetheart,
there's no positives.

I would obviously tell you.

Heather?

Oh. Hi...

again.

Hey.

Just grabbing some dinner?

I am.

Yeah.

I was just admiring this photo.

Isn't it epic?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure is.

She sure was.

Was?

Regan was her name.

She was a legend
in these mountains.

Died nine years ago.

I'm so sorry.

You knew her?

Yeah.

Quite well, in fact.

Extra fries and extra cheese.

Just the way the lady likes it.

All right.

Have a good night, man.

Thank you. You too.

Burgers and fries night
for my girl.

I see.

Have a good date.

Your neck okay?

Didn't you just...

just have a massage,
or something?

I did, yeah.

But your date
went a little too deep,

so to speak.

My date?

Sonya.

Extra cheese and fries.

The massage therapist.

Yeah, right.

Speaking of, do you know
where I could buy some Aspirin?

You know what?

I have some.

Do you wanna...
wanna come with me?

I got ya.

My office is close by.

Oh. So this is your office?

Sure is.

- "Canine saviour."
- Yeah.

It's one of their avi dogs.

They certainly do a good job
of saving lives for us.

I can see that.

Okay, take one tonight
and one tomorrow morning.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

And you might wanna tell her

that, uh, you just don't like
deep massages.

Oh, trust me, I did.

Oh.

So I'll see you tomorrow?

For some more computer
simulations and gaming?

Can't wait.

It's not gaming.

Ish.

It's forecasting
based on science,

based on data,

based on proven algorithms.

So I've been told.

I don't get
why you're so against it.

Against it?

Science.

No, I'm not against anything.

But I do know

that weather is a variable
that can't be predicted.

It changes without notice.

And science...

well, science simply
can't predict that.

Well, it's meant to be a tool.

A tool that you incorporate.

Hmm.

Listen, I gotta go pick up
my daughter from music classes

and get some food in her.

Your daughter?

I thought that food
was for your date, Sonya.

Wow.

That, my friend,
was a full-blown assumption.

No, the only girlfriend
I have in my life

is my daughter.

Not that you were asking.

I wasn't.

Oh. Okay, good.

Come on.

Dad, come on!

I mean, seriously,
it's Taylor Swift.

She's an icon.

Her new album...
You have to get me tickets.

Okay. Well, when
do they go on sale again?

And how much
is this gonna cost me?

Feels expensive.

- Hello!
- Hello?

Sonya.

I'm so sorry
to just barge in here like this,

but I didn't know
who else to call.

Dad, who's that?

Hey, Samantha!
Do you remember me?

We met earlier this year
at the salon

when you were
getting your hair cut.

Oh, right.

Yeah, you were getting
some fake lashes put on,

I think, right?

Fake lashes?

Kids these days.

Uh, no, sweetheart,

I was, um, getting

a holistic hot-oil treatment
put on them.

So, Sonya, how can we help you?

Oh, my heat's out

and I can't get ahold
of my landlord, so...

Oh, that's...

that's terrible.

Yeah. Anyhoo, I didn't know
who to call,

as my sister's phone is off.

And, obviously,
I can't sleep at home tonight.

Did you call a friend?

Which your dad is.

My new friend, in fact,
who I like a lot.

Anyways, I was hoping
maybe I could sleep over?

Help me out of a jam?

Well, what do you think, kiddo?

I think
we should help Sonya out.

I mean, she doesn't have
a place to stay.

Okay.

I'll go get some sheets
and a pillow for the couch.

Great.

Great, the couch.

Nice place.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

You put lipstick on before bed?

I've never seen that before.

It's called "plumper".

"Plumper"?

Makes your lips look fuller.

Oh.

If you have flat lips,
you put it on, and...

voilà.

Here, let's try some on you.

Um, is it a chemical?

I don't know.

And who cares?

In the name of beauty,
let's do it all, am I right?

Um, I think my lips
are okay, actually.

I don't want it.

I have an even better idea.

Let's give you a full makeover.

Go totally glam...
Every girl's desire.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Oh, and the couch
is all made up.

I see.

Well, thank you.

Okay.

Good night, Sonya.

'Night.

Oh.

Thank you for letting me stay.

But are you sure that's
where you want me to sleep?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I'll see you in the morning.

Glad we could help you out.

Yeah.

Great.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Going to talk to my dad.

I think he's had a long day
and maybe he's tired.

Unless it's an emergency,

I'd maybe say
now's not the best time.

Do the dogs always sleep there?

Yeah, they do.

You can slide to the other side
of the couch if you want to.

Okay. Go back to bed, sweetie.

Please, please, please
let this be for only one night.

Eww, you guys stink.

The pitch is 37 degrees.

Mm-hmm.

And based on the data,

the program predicts

which area
is most likely to slide,

which is outlined in red.

The deeper the failure level,
the more dangerous.

So, how deep is it here?

Four feet.

So we're talking about
a slab avalanche?

Exactly.

Okay.

So, the starting zone
should be here.

This is the track
and the runout.

Let's see.

Look at that.

The program can predict
when an avalanche will happen

with a high level of accuracy,

and without manual testing,

so we're not putting
anyone at risk.

I'm all for that.

Hey, Chris.

Have you seen
how this works yet?

It's incredible.
And accurate.

Uh, I'll take a look
a little later.

I'm just gonna head up
to rope off a couple areas.

That's, uh, one job

we're still gonna have to
perform ourselves,

even with
Dr. Lawrence's forecasting.

Touché.

How's the neck?

Better, thanks.

Good to hear.

I'll, uh,
see you a little later?

Maybe you will.

Let's look at another example.

Let's do that.

Well, look who's here.

All right, you wanna help me
close the area?

Okay, are you gonna
help us too, buddy?

What are you gonna do?

We sure don't want
any skiers in this area

with such a high risk
of avalanche.

All right.

I can't believe
I let you talk me into this.

You can't come to Fernie

without putting on
a pair of skis.

Says who?

It's gonna be fun.

I'm exhausted already.

Come on,
we'll do one lap around.

If you're not feeling it,
we'll call it a day.

- Promise?
- Promise.

Now let's go!

Heather, wait!

Yeah, Riley.

Look at you!

Am I doing okay?

You're doing great!

Okay, we're coming up
on one full lap.

What's the call?

Uh, I don't know.

What do you think?

Well, cross-country skiing

happens to be one of the best
aerobic sports there is.

And it's great for the glutes.

Is that true?

Have you seen
a professional Nordic skier?

Specimens of perfect health,
inside and out.

Okay, let's do it.

Okay.

Thatta girl.

Okay, Heather, I don't think
I can go much further.

Okay, one more lap
and we'll go back in.

Hey, ladies!

Oh, hey, Sonya.

I know you're an alpine skier,

but you're clearly not much
of a cross-country skier.

See if you can keep up!

Don't worry about me, guys,
you just go ahead.

Am I getting snow in your face?

Yeah, Heather!

Yeah! Go, sister!

What's the matter,
Alpine Princess,

you can't keep up?

Let's see what you got.

Come on, push!

Don't let her beat ya.

Come on, Heather!

Come on!

Almost there.

Push! Push! Push!

Ooh...

looks like I'm the winner!

Did that really just happen?

Fire alarms.

You'd be putting off
fire alarms.

Well, I'm definitely

not a professional
cross-country skier.

Hey, I'm really glad
we did this today, sis.

It was fun.

Really?

Yeah.

Even though she smoked ya.

She did.

She really did.

Oh, I could really go
for a donut right now.

Have you ever had a beaver tail?

Eww. What's a beaver tail?

Oh, they're so good.

Thank you.

It's kind of like a funnel cake,

but a different shape.

Hmm.

This is happening tomorrow.

Oh.

Well, if Chris is teaching,
you have to go.

I might.

It'd be nice to see him
in action again, you know?

Get a feel for his technique.

I bet you would.

You're terrible.

Now, I'm assuming

one of the reasons
you're here today

is because you're all
backcountry enthusiasts.

But maybe each of you

signed up
for a personal reason, too.

And if you did, I wanna hear it.

If you're willing to share.

Anybody?

Yeah, I'll go first.

All right.

Uh, well,
I didn't grow up skiing,

or, you know,
out here in the mountains.

So, now that I'm out here,

I feel like I need to gain

some more knowledge
and some more experience.

So, that's why I'm here.

Thank you.

Yeah. I have two daughters

that were involved
in an avalanche last year.

My youngest had to dig out
her older sister,

who was buried up to her neck.

Turned out okay.

So I'm taking this course,

because I don't have
that knowledge,

and I wanna go skiing with them
as a family.

Thank you. Thank you.

Well, last season,

I broke both my ankles
in the Pyramid gap.

Luckily, my friends were there,

and they got me out of there
safe and fast.

I'm looking to do this course,

because I wanna be there
for them

if the roles ever change.

Wow.

Thanks for sharing.

All really good reasons.

And yourself?

What brings you here
this morning?

Curiosity, I suppose.

All right, then.

Well, I appreciate
you all sharing.

What I hope to instill
in you today

is a healthy fear of avalanches.

But, more than that,

I want you to leave this course

with a confidence

in your ability to make
the right decisions.

Now, these decisions
are not always the most popular,

or that your fellow skiers
or boarders wanna make,

but it's those tough decisions
that save lives.

All right, everyone ready?

- Yeah?
- You bet.

- Let's do it.
- Okay.

Come here.

Hey, what's your deal?

My deal?

Yeah. I just wanna make sure

you're here
for all the right reasons.

Wrong reasons being?

Being critiquing my work.

I'm not into that.

I would never!

I'm here to learn from you.

Well, I hope you're not
a disruptive student!

I'll be on my best behavior.

I promise.

I hope so.

All right, guys, let's go!

Follow me.

Everybody in?

Oh, Mogul.

Good boy. Good boy!

Now, somewhere on this slope,

I've buried a backpack
with a transceiver inside it

to simulate an avalanche victim.

All right, now, just pretend
this is your friend.

Let's call him Steve.

Okay?

Now, when I yell "avalanche,"

I want you
to grab your transceiver,

and switch it from "send"
to "search".

Okay? Everyone got that?

And you're gonna
grab your probe,

and then you're gonna go
search for Steve.

Now, as your transceiver
beeps louder and louder,

that means
you're getting closer to Steve.

And when your probe
hits something squishy in there,

you got Steve.

Everyone got it?

Everyone, just start
spreading out a little bit.

Very good. Very good.

Okay, and...

Avalanche!

That's it!
Good, good, good.

Okay, on average,

an avalanche victim

will be buried
under four feet of snow,

so make sure you just stick
that probe deep.

After ten minutes,

a skier
that's buried under the snow...

Their chance of survival
decreases by 80%.

So, keep going.
Keep going.

Just another foot or so!

That's it.

I think I've got him!

I think I found Steve!

All right,
keep digging, keep digging!

Time to dig!

Oh, thank goodness,
we found Steve!

Oh, excellent.

Yeah! Really well done,
everybody!

All right!

Well done.

Ha, ha! Fantastic.

All right, everyone, gather in.

All right, listen up.

Megan's gonna teach us
about the snowpack.

So, today, we're gonna learn

how to find weak layers
in the snow.

What we're really
trying to find,

if we have softer snow
on top of firm snow,

which would cause an avalanche.

So we're gonna do that

by checking out
the resistance of the snowpack

by using our... our hands

and poking into the snow.

You can also come on in
and use the Popsicle sticks.

Okay. Everyone...
Come on in, everybody.

You guys can use these
Popsicle sticks over there.

Do you wanna go over there?

Okay, so, here...

let me just smooth
this surface out for you.

What do you think? Solid?

Or is that soft?

It feels soft right there.

That's true.

Okay, how about down here,
in this layer?

That's a little...

That's a little tougher.

Mm-hmm.

Learning anything there, scientist?

Okay, let's try this out here.

All right...

♪ Two kids, one crush ♪

♪ Before we knew it
we were deep in love ♪

♪ Wheels turning
as we pick up speed... ♪

So, what'd you think
of the course?

Honestly?

I thought it was great.

No constructive criticism?

Mm...

maybe one thing.

Okay. Let's hear it.

I think you should be willing

to incorporate
my forecasting program.

Like, you know how I feel.

Explain that to me again.

Like, I just don't need

a scientist coming here
to tell me how things work.

I know.

- You know?
- Yeah.

- With certainty?
- That's right.

And you never get it wrong?

Nope.

Well, I guess there's
no arguing with perfection.

Exactly.

You know what?

I gotta pick up Samantha soon.

It's the first day
of ski school.

Wanna join me for a few runs?

Sure.

All right.

Let's go get Mogul.

Mogul skis?

Has he always
ridden the lift with you?

Oh, yeah.

Ever since he was a little pup.
Right, buddy?

Aww.

Yeah, it doesn't get
any better than this.

Nope.

What are you looking for?

Your girlfriend.

My girlfriend?

Sonya.

Sonya?

It's kind of weird.

Well, she's not weird, but...

she randomly challenged me
to a race yesterday

when I was cross-country skiing
with my sister.

So, I don't think
she'd be too keen on us,

you know, hanging out.

Oh.

Well, okay, firstly,
Sonya's not my girlfriend.

And secondly,

aside from the one dinner date
we had over a month ago,

I have given her no indication

that she's anything
other than just a friend.

Just not into her.

Good to know.

Yeah.

Glad we cleared that up.
Right, buddy?

Hey, was that
a fun run, or what?

It was.

Yeah? What was
your favorite part?

Turns.

Yeah? How about you guys?
What was your favorite part?

Um, jumps. Yeah.
That was really fun.

Good stuff.

Hey, kiddo!

Hi, Dad!

Do you remember Heather
from the demonstration?

Of course, I do.
Do you ski?

Almost better than your dad.

Uh-oh, looks like you have

some competition
on the hill today.

Oh yeah, seems like I do.

Thanks a lot, Ange.

No problem.
She's good to go.

- All right.
- Bye, guys.

- Bye.
- Bye.

So, good class?

Yeah, snow was awesome!

Did you and my dad
ski together today?

Not all day,
but we got a few runs in.

That's good.

Hey, Heather, wanna go and see
the Mountain Rescue pups?

They're really learning a lot.

I'd love to.

Okay. Last one
to the bottom of the hill

owes me a foot massage.

A foot massage?

Yeah.

Welcome to my single-parent
fathering world

of raising a mountain girl.

- Shall we?
- Sounds good.

All right.

Could these puppies
be any cuter?

So my dad was telling me
you're a scientist?

I am.

Studying patterns of the snow,

and predicting avalanches
before they might happen,

and stuff?

Sounds like you study
some of this yourself.

Not really, but kinda.

My mom was kinda into it.

Or so I've been told.

Is she still?

Into it, I mean?

No, my mom passed away
when I was two years old.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

That's her, actually.

Over there, on the wall.

Regan was your mom?

- You know her name?
- Yeah. I, um...

I was admiring
her photo the other night,

and your dad, he, uh...

mentioned her name.

But I... I didn't know
that was your mom.

Oh, hi, guys.

Get 'em while they're hot.

They give extra whip
here at the lodge.

This right here

is the best hot chocolate
in the world, Heather.

There you go.

In the world.

Wow!

It's really good.

Uh, you just got a little...

Oh! Oh.

So, did you ask her?

Ask me?

My dad has something to ask you.

Easy, kiddo,
just give a guy a minute, okay?

Um, I'm not sure
if you've heard,

but the Mountain Rescue
fundraiser is coming up.

Tonight.
The fundraiser is tonight.

Tonight.

Eric mentioned
something about that.

It's here at the lodge,
I think I read.

Wanna come?

Well, um...

I, uh...

There's gonna be
singing and dancing...

Although don't expect
any Taylor Swift covers,

I already asked.

Mm. Bummer.

And we have an extra ticket.

Which he got today,
hoping maybe you'd wanna come.

You got me a ticket?

He did.

Well, I didn't...

I didn't actually get a ticket.

Um, there was just one left,

and, uh, I didn't
see your name on the list.

So...

So, he got it for you.

Wanna come?

Sure.

I'd love to.

Okay.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

I want you to have
this night with Chris.

I just... I have a feeling
about you two.

We're just colleagues.

I'll admit, he's really cute,

but I'm not into
how he dismisses the work I do.

It's insulting.

Have you asked him
why he's being so dismissive?

I have.

And he's yet
to give me a real answer.

Hmm.

Well, maybe tonight

is the night
you finally get through to him.

And, besides,
it's gonna be a lot of fun!

And you're sure you're okay
with staying here?

Are you kidding me?

A fire.

A hot bath.
Movie in bed.

That's my dream.

When are you supposed to take
that next pregnancy test?

I'm supposed to take it tonight.

I'm not quite ready.

Well, no matter how that goes,
I'm here for you.

Thank you. Now, go.
Go get ready.

I have nothing to wear!

Guess I'll just have to
go through your suitcase.

Just not my black boots.

Dad, Heather's here!

♪ ...That opens up your eyes ♪

♪ You stumble into something

Wow, you look beautiful.

Not looking so bad yourself.

Well, I do what I can do.

Great turnout.

Yeah, it's such a relief.

I always get so nervous
before these things.

Looks like a lot of people

understand the importance
of Mountain Rescue.

There she is!

Bridget!

Oh, I was hoping
I would see you.

I hear from Eric

you are breaking some ground
with your research.

We have. We are.
It's very exciting.

Well, just wanted
to pop over, say hi.

It's so good to see you.

We are almost ready.

Yes. Um, I need to steal
Chris for a minute,

and I promise
I'll bring him right back.

Of course.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Yeah, that sounds good. Okay.

Heather!

Here, I got you
a root-beer float.

You seem to like whipped cream,

and they were making it fresh.

Ooh, a girl
who knows her drinks.

Mm!

Right?

Thank you all
for coming out tonight.

You know, just about everybody

who's been rescued
in the backcountry

has something similar to say.

The experience made them realize
just how fragile life is.

They wanna do something
good in the world,

help people out.

It's the kind of thing
we need more of in this world,

and that's exactly
what makes us do what we do.

Now, every year,

we have more people
coming into the park.

And with more visitors...

well, comes more accidents.

People don't realize
how dangerous it is.

There is no safe backcountry.

There is always a risk.

We can't stop them from coming,

but we can help educate them
on the risks

and be here in the event
something bad happens.

This leads to a greater need
for mountain personnel,

rescue dogs, and equipment.

So, this year,

we're kicking off
our fundraising campaign

for the renovation and expansion

of our Mountain Rescue headquarters.

And anyone who donates
$500 or more tonight

gets a guided hike
to the famous Grinnell Glacier.

And, I should add,

it's most safely accessed
by a Mountain Rescue escort.

Five hundred!

Wow!

- Perfect.
- One thousand!

Thank you!

Two thousand!
Two-thousand dollars!

Wow! That's very generous,
thank you very much.

Five thousand!

Five-thousand dollars!

Fantastic.

Thank you very much.

Very generous of you.
Very generous

Okay, time for the fun to begin!

So, everyone,
grab yourself a drink,

and enjoy the sweet sound

from the beautiful,
talented Melvin.

You know, Mountain Rescue's

really lucky to have someone
like your dad.

Yeah.

They're lucky to have you, too.

You're really good
with those puppies.

Where'd you learn
how to train them so well?

Videos my mom made.

She made
these instructional videos

for each pup she trained.

She was really good at it.

And when I turned six,
I found them,

and I started
following her lead.

And my dad thought
I should take over.

Well, I can guarantee you,
she's incredibly proud of you.

Thanks.

You actually remind me of her...

from the stories
I've heard about her.

Is that so?

Well, you're a mountain girl,
like she was,

and you wanna help people,
like she did.

Exactly the type of person
I wanna be when I grow up.

Samantha, I can guarantee you,

you're already halfway there,

if not there already.

Care to dance?

I'm okay,
but I think Heather does.

Come on, you know you want to.

Heather?

I thought you'd never ask.

Thanks.

Hey, Samantha.

Isn't it past your bedtime?

Remember that night
I needed to talk to my dad

and you said,
"Now is not the best time"?

I do.

Well, that was actually
really good advice.

So I'll return the favor.

Tonight is an important night.

My dad is having fun
with someone smart,

who uses ChapStick over plumper.

Now is not the best time.

Well, you tell your dad

Okay!

Before we wrap this thing up,

the Mountain Rescue team and I

have purchased a gift
for two very special people...

Our director, Chris Parker,

and his amazing daughter
and avi pup trainer, Samantha.

We got them
this amazing gourmet basket

with goodies galore.

So, Chris and Samantha,
please come on up here.

Come on, let's go.

Whoo!

You've been quiet this morning.

What are you thinking about?

Well, you know
when you always say

that sometimes people
come into your life

for a reason?

I do.

Well, dogs.

But can it apply to people, too?

I don't see why not.

What's making you
think about it?

- I was just wondering.
- Hmm.

Hey, what do you say

you and I make use
of that gift basket,

and take the ski-doo
up the mountain

to our special spot and indulge?

Hmm?

I have an even better idea.

Okay, here I am.

Dressed for adventure,
like you said.

Mm-hmm.

Helmet.

Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

You sound like your daughter.

Whose idea this actually was.

Really?

She insisted we go on this date.

This is a date?

It is.

You made an impression.

Samantha likes you a lot.

Probably 'cause you guys
have the same taste in music.

Ah.

And because I like you, too.

A lot.

Come on, get on.

♪ Now I fear I'm the cause ♪

♪ And pull myself away... ♪

All right.

Okay.

Oh, you brought the cooler.

Yeah...

for a picnic.

Again, Samantha insisted
I bring it.

Oh...

that was nice.

All right, follow me.

Ta-dah!

Wow!

Do you remember
your first rescue?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

I'll never forget it, actually.

Can you tell me about it?

Sure.

Um...

Well, I was in training,
here in Fernie.

My first year,
right out of college.

These, uh, high-school kids
were looking for fresh tracks,

and they ducked the rope.

You know, sometimes,
these local kids, they, uh...

I don't know,

they just get
too cocky up there.

You know?

Anyway, there was
this tree buried in the snow,

and both of these kids
skied right into it.

One of them
broke his leg, and...

and the other
just blew out his knee.

Gosh.

Yeah. If I hadn't seen
their tracks on my last sweep,

they would've been caught
out there overnight,

and they wouldn't have made it.

They got lucky.

Have you ever seen
those boys again?

Yeah.

They're all grown-up now.

One of them's
a firefighter in Fernie,

and the other one works
for Mountain Rescue and Safety.

How about you?

I'm curious, what got you
into this line of work?

My college roommate.

Jessica.

We met freshman year
and hit it off right away.

She actually introduced me
to backcountry skiing.

You know those kinds of people

you think can do
just about anything?

That was Jess.

She was a force.

And knowledgeable.

I mean, by the book.

One morning,

Jess and two of our friends
went up Loveland Pass.

I would've been with them,
but I was in an exam.

Um, it got late,

and they still weren't back.

I almost didn't answer
the phone when it rang.

I just had this awful feeling.

They were skiing the steeps.

Jess went last.

And there was an avalanche,

and she was buried.

They had beacons.

Got to her in 12 minutes.

But it was too late.

Even with all her experience,

the lure
of that untouched powder

was clouding her judgement.

I'm so sorry.

So, after that,

I just threw myself

into the study of snow
and avalanche forecasting,

in the hopes that fewer people

would ever have to go through
something like that.

You know, I think...

Jessica somehow knows
what you're doing...

and is honored by it.

I hope so.

I'm really happy I met you.

Me too.

Okay, here's the deal...

for the rest of today,
no more shop talk. Okay?

Oh, what are we
gonna talk about?

Are you kidding me?

I have so many questions
to ask you.

Like what?

Like...

Like, what's
your favorite color?

- Baby blue.
- Baby blue.

Okay. Well, that...

that seems appropriate.

Mm, this is the life.

So relaxing.

Have you ever done
a snow angel before?

A snow angel?

Follow me.

Come on.

Uh-oh.

Oh!!

It burns!

You're amazing.

All right,
here's another question.

What talent do you wish you had?

Mm.

I wish I could paint.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, how awesome would it be

to sit in a beautiful place
with an easel

and paint a landscape?

Like this one.

Right. Like live in the moment.

Hmm.

Never too late.

True.

So what about you?

Oh.

Uh, let's see...

Any kind of musical talent.

Like maybe writing a song.

Oh.

Do you have anything
you wanna demonstrate?

♪ I'm sitting here
with a girl ♪

♪ In an unpredictable world ♪

♪ Do-boop-boop... ♪

Maybe stick
to the mountain rescue instead.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, um...

How about something
you've never done.

Fall in love.

You've never been in love?

Mm-mm.

Why's that?

Just never given myself
the opportunity, I guess.

Okay.

Um...

second part of that question...

do you want to?

Yeah.

I'd like to know how it feels.

Yeah, it feels really great,
that's for sure.

I had it once.

With Regan.

Yeah. How do you know her name?

Samantha told me.

I didn't realize that was her
in the photo in the lodge.

Yeah.

Okay, last question...

where are you the happiest?

Easy.

The mountains.

Ah.

You?

Anywhere with Samantha.

Mm.

But...

being up here with you

ranks pretty high up
on that list also.

Oh, it's just
an avalanche bombing.

Close?

No. No.

So, what else you got
in that cooler?

Well, let's find out, shall we?

Let's see...

Oh, hey!

- Hi, Dad.
- Hey, kiddo.

So, how was it?

Riley's super cool.

Just like Heather.

Hey.

So, good time with Dad?

I... I did have fun.

Yeah.

Yes!

Okay, let's go, kiddo.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye, guys. See you later.

Bye.

Oh, my goodness.
Okay, tell me everything.

You were right.

Yes! I knew it.

I've never met anyone like him.

I know it sounds crazy,

but under
different circumstances,

I could totally see us all
being together.

He and his daughter
are truly one of a kind.

If there's one thing I know,

it's that these feelings,

they don't come along
that often.

And when they do,
that's your heart speaking.

And when your heart is talking,
you need to listen.

Okay, Miss Matchmaker?

Okay?

Am I always right?

- Not always.
- I'm always right!

You were right once.

Oh, come on.

Maybe twice.

Hey, guys.

Heather!

Hey, Sam.

I can't thank you enough
for yesterday.

Your dad told me
that was your special spot.

And now it's yours, too.

Speaking of your dad,
is he around?

He's up the hill at his office.

Oh, great,
maybe I'll go find him.

Wait! Can I show you
what I've been teaching the pups

before you go?

I'd love nothing more.

Okay, come on.

Take.

Oh, they're so cute.

Knock-knock.

Hey!

Sorry to interrupt.

No. No, it's fine.

I'm just finishing up here.

Did I just catch you working
with my forecasting program?

No, just finishing up a report.

Oh.

You know, um,

I've trained everyone this week
except for you.

I think it'd be really nice
if you gave it a chance.

Look, with all due respect,

as I said before,

I... I... I just don't need it.

What do you have against
the work I'm doing here?

Look, you know why.

I don't trust technology.

But why don't you trust it?

You haven't given me
a real reason.

I trust the weather.

And the weather
is unpredictable.

And it moves faster
than your technology.

And technology can't keep up
with weather in real time.

It just can't.

I'm not arguing that it can.

Okay. Well, then...

just leave it at that.

I can't just leave it at that.

I feel like
I've gotten to know you.

I've been having
so much fun with you.

But this...

this attitude towards my work...

My...

my life's work...

It's...

it's disrespectful.

I can't help you
with that feeling.

Yes, you can!

You can look at the technology

and realize
that we're on the same team.

My work is about
saving lives, too.

Why aren't you getting that?

Look, you just don't understand.

Then explain it to me.

I'm sitting right here
in front of you.

I'm listening.

Make me understand

why your work and mine
can't co-exist.

Heather,

we're just not gonna see
eye to eye on this.

Okay?

We're just not.

Okay.

Then, uh...

Yeah, I guess.

Bye, I guess.

Whoa, wait. Bye?

I'm leaving tomorrow, remember?

And I guess...

I guess you can just go back
to making your assumptions.

Which is all
you seem to have for me.

And, more importantly, my work.

Which is based in science,
but you don't care.

And I see that now.

- Heather!
- Chris, come in.

- Yeah, this is Chris.
- What's your 20?

Do you really need to leave?

I think so.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

You okay?

Ish.

Yup.

Really?

Right.

Um, excuse me, driver?

We should probably get going.

We don't wanna miss our flight.

There's a snowstorm out there.

Your flight's been canceled.

Canceled?

The room is yours
as long as you need it.

Thanks, Eric.

Chris and the other patrollers
are out on a call,

so I'd better
get back to the office.

What's going on?

Two skiers are stranded
near Apgar Gulch.

One took a fall
and is in pretty bad shape.

I hope he's okay.

Hey, I'm just gonna go
back to the room

and do some emails.

Thank you so much.

You okay?

I'm okay.

Wasn't successful with Chris,
by the way.

He could barely even
look at my weather system.

But you know why, right?

No, I don't, actually.

Aside from him being stubborn
and disrespectful,

I felt like we had a connection.

His wife, Regan.

It's about Regan.

What about her?

She went into
the backcountry one day,

based off an avalanche forecast
she'd been exploring.

And the area
was supposedly safe,

so she never really checked
her snowpack,

and then there was a slide.

And the technology at the time

was not what you have today.

An avalanche.

That's how she died?

Now you understand.

The weather's changing
pretty quickly,

so I'd better get back
to the station.

Thanks for telling me.

He's worth it, Heather.

He's worth you.

Thanks.

Oh, no.

Eric, we have a problem
at Apgar.

Yeah, I spotted that, too.

Have they found the skiers yet?

Not yet.

- Can I talk to Chris?
- Of course.

Heather to Chris.

This is Chris.

I thought you left?

What's your 20?

About 50 yards east of Apgar.

Okay, stop right there.

The snow on that side of Apgar
is about to give.

No, it hasn't slid in years.

It's not gonna slide today.

I'm telling you, the data shows
it's ready to go any time.

Eric sees it, too.

Yeah, buddy, she's not lying.

Test the snow yourself

if you don't believe me.

No, we don't have time.

The guy's in bad shape.

Then, please,

you have to trust me.

Do not cross Apgar.

All right,
what do you recommend we do?

Get up to the ridge,

and then descend
from the other side,

and approach them from the west.

I can see the skier,

he's just across the gulch,

150 yards from here.

Please, just listen to me.

I'm telling you,
it's much safer from there,

and then you have
a clear path to ski out.

What do you think?

Chris, this technology's good.

All right,
we're going across the ridge.

Over.

All right, let's go, guys.

Chris to base.

We have the injured skier.

We're heading back.

An ambulance will be waiting
for you at the bottom.

10-4.

You were right, Heather.

All right, let's go, guys.

Is my dad gonna be okay?

He's gonna be just fine.

I know
it might feel really scary,

but you're a lucky girl.

Not many kids have
a real-life hero for a dad.

Your system helped predict it.

And knew something
my dad didn't.

Come on, Kevin,
the ambulance is waiting.

All right.
See ya, guys.

Dad!

Hey.

Thank God, you're okay.

Always, sweetie.

Always.

I think someone else
is glad you're okay, too.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I owe you.

- You don't owe me anything.
- No, I owe you an apology.

I can't afford
a misstep up there.

And, I admit,

your forecasting system, it...

it picks up on things
we could miss.

I get why you hesitated
about it.

Eric filled me in.

You saved my life, Heather.

You saved all of our lives.

And, uh...

I've been thinking.

I don't want you to leave.

I really don't.

I don't think Samantha
wants you to leave either.

Maybe you just wanna base
your work out of here?

What do you mean?

I mean, I'm sure Eric
has an office for you.

And I'll bet a full-time job.

And you could obviously
just continue your research.

But, yeah.

Move here.

Be part of our team.

I don't know what to say.

That you'll think about it?

I mean, professionally,
it's a...

a big decision.

But personally...

maybe not?

Personally?

Very personal.
