Feb Meeting of the Noco Book Club

The Way Out is the story of an unforgiving blizzard that transformed a quick jaunt of two skiers into a thirty-hour ordeal that would end in tragedy, as the community raced to find them. An almost unbelievable event that shook a tight-knit mountain community around Salida, CO and raised difficult questions about life and death, guilt and redemption, and the pursuit of adventure. Why, when we know that the wilderness can kill, can’t we stay away? When the unthinkable happens, how does a community forgive the survivors? And how do the survivors forgive themselves? Drawing on firsthand interviews with those closest to the tragedy, including the key eyewitness, and written with the gripping intensity of classics such as Into Thin Air and Touching the Void, O’Neil recreates that fateful day. The Way Out is a thoughtful investigation of the allure of the mountains and the aftermath of trauma, and an unforgettable look at life at its very edge.
