        Now in the book The Last Breath, Stark has told about a bunch of different life threatening scenarios. In one, a group of snowboarders head up to the back country to drop in on some fresh powder. Once to the top of the mountain, they can see truly how much snow there is and how far down they have to go. Excited about it, the waste no time motivating each other to be the first one down. As the first kid is about halfway down the mountain, he feels his feet start to shake and turns his head to see a massive avalanche racing towards him. He takes all precautions he has learned in classes he has previously taken, but still finds himself trapped under hundreds of pounds of snow. His friends race down the mountain to see if he is visable and finally locate them with their tracking devices they had put on before the ascent up the mountain. After digging for hours, they finally find a barely conscience boy and rush him off to the nearest hospital. He turns out to live with no lasting damage, but does have two cracked ribs. Throughout the story he tells what you should or shouldn't do if ever found in situations like these.
