Reception

Laura Fries from Variety magazine gave the film a very bad review, stating: "Keep moving folks. Nothing new to see here unless you haven’t gotten your fill of the jeopardy of the week. In fact, this latest family drama isn’t even based on a true story. Heck, it’s not even inspired by a real incident. "Miracle on the Mountain" is touted by CBS as a movie "suggested by actual events." At this point, you might as well just admit it's fiction, and not particularly good fiction at that.".[1] David Parkinson from Radio Times gave the film two out of five stars, concluding: "Director Michael Switzer makes the most of the scenery and stages an impressive avalanche, but the domestic duelling rapidly becomes wearisome."[2]
