Forty-five kilometers up the road over the Thompson Pass, in a muddy car park by the Tsaina River, is a small collection of cabins and the center of the operation. From there skiers and boarders take off in AStar helicopters and flit over the magnificent empty wilderness of the Chugach Range. Being this far north and so close to the sea, the Chugach receives an extraordinary amount of snow with a stability unmatched elsewhere.

Slightly obscuring the weakness of the play is the general competence of the cast. Felix Aylmer is a restrained and amiable British Delegate, and Ben Astar capitalizes on a remarkable resemblance to Malenkov in a convincing, and not wholly unsympathetic portrayal of the Russian Delegate.
