Description
Norman Ollestad was thrust into the world of competitive sports at a very young age by his father. Often paralyzed by fear, young Norman resented losing his childhood to his father's reckless and demanding adventures. Then, in February 1979, a chartered Cessna carrying 11-year-old Norman, his father, his father's girlfriend and the pilot, crashed into Southern California's San Gabriel Mountains. Norman's father was dead, his girlfriend and the pilot soon to follow. Suspended at over 8,000 feet and engulfed in a blizzard, the grief-stricken boy descended the icy mountain alone. Norman defied the elements and made it through alive - the sole survivor of the crash.
