Avalanche (later released on VHS and DVD as Escape from Alaska) is a 1999 American disaster film directed by Steve Kroschel and starring Thomas Ian Griffith and Caroleen Feeney.
The survivor of an Alaskan avalanche, environmentalist Dr. Lia Freeman (Caroleen Feeney) is concerned that a similar disaster may occur if a proposed new oil pipeline is built. Freeman adamantly warns the planners of the likelihood of the event, but her pleas fall on deaf ears. As she realizes that a massive whiteout is imminent, Freeman tries to evacuate the citizens of a nearby town, aided by helicopter pilot Neal Meekin (Thomas Ian Griffith).
