Episode 147: The Wellington avalanche

You're stuck inside, unable to leave where you are and growing more frustrated by the day.

And as the snow falls for the sixth day in a row, the steep hillside above you, packed with heavy snow, silently threatens to fall. All it needs is one tiny push for disaster to strike.
