God helped us survive the six days. God put Julio and Scott there first for a reason. The movie writer did a great job pulling it together. He came down from Seattle and spent a week and interviewed a lot of the key people involved. Went home with over 50 hours of tape to decipher. He had to decide which story to tell. He had to combine/blend several characters together in order to make the movie doable. Such as, we have three daughters, Dorinda (age 26 at the time), Micaela (age 21 at the time), and Taryn (age 8). He combined our oldest two into one – Melinda who was 16 yrs old. Brooklyn played Taryn. My nephews Bo and Ryan, Bo’s friend, our friends Harve and Dave and many other key players were combined.

They got the terrain correct. Straight up. Not enough snow thou. No, I did not have a boyfriend, that was for dramatic effect. Same with “will they get home for Christmas” sequencing. Actually happened in March 5-10<sup>th</sup>, 2003 and it snowed 2 and one half feet within the first two days. And I don’t have a brother. I dug a lot of snowcaves and they left that out, guess Jaime didn't want to dig.

Polaris Rules. Jims Yamaha was a piece of junk—short track, etc. And we never went by ourselves. Complete God thing for us to be out there, just the two of us. Saved our marriage, healed relationships; had a widespread effect, people were pray all over the world for us. Very humbling when you think no one cares then you find out all the tremendous effort that was going on for you. Please email me, I would love to hear your involvement in our story.

Thanks for posting!
It's great to learn more about the shows we've worked on. Glad to hear that you and your family chose to pull the good out of such a tough situation. Kudos to you and your husband for being so resourceful and for not giving up. Overnighting is one thing but surviving multiple days with limited resources IS a miracle.
Best wishes to your family and you are welcome to contact me anytime if you are interested to learn more about the filming. 403-850-3042 Lori Z.
