You could mention the natural elements and pathetic fallacy of ice to display her fear and how life stopped for her in this moment of skiing- she probably fears this sport and the fact it's snowing emphasises how bad this idea could be in the future.
The mention of death- you could say that she knows that something might happen to her in this trip as it is a 'pre-echo'. The prefix showing the foreshadow. 'Red'- connotations of blood and injury. 'Silence'- not normal even though she is with her husband, the silence before the storm in a way, she feels something bad is going to happen.
Bird imagery of eagle- predator, tend to attack, feels like the pressure of this trip is making her see everything bad.
Hope that helps! :smile:

I agree with the statement that Zoe is so slow to react to the warning signs of this dangerous situation. It is quite peculiar that the writer makes the first line begins with the conjunction ‘But’ which alludes a contrast going to occur that will juxtapose the ‘beauty’ of the surrounding landscape. Due to this, I see it can be quite understandable that she had a slow reaction to the warning signs of the avalanche even though ‘small slabs of snow slip from beneath her’. The fact that she fails to realise that amplifies the danger that is going to afflict her. In reality, people would acknowledge their surroundings in a scenario like this so this outlines her vulnerability.

In addition to this ‘the grey smoke unfurling in silky banners’ was also a noticeable warning of the natural disaster which was to come yet she failed to notice it which is why I agree that it is unbelievable that she didn’t react to the sign. Specifically, the writer using the premodifier ‘silky’ shows how Zoe sees it so fascinating comparing it to fabric materials (which in the normal lifestyle interest many women), to the extent the short sentence ‘It was beautiful’ was mentioned, exemplifying how she was mesmerised by the atmosphere that she unknowingly describes the symptoms of the avalanche as ‘beautiful’. Her naive nature in this hazardous situation makes it almost unbelievable that she was so slow in her reaction.

The writer creates scenario to be very dangerous through the choice of imagery- the simile ‘like a tsunami at sea’ implies the intensity of the snow ‘unfurling’ towards Zoe and Jake that could potentially take her life in a ‘rib-cracking fall’ with its ‘great mass’ and huge pressure. Furthermore, it takes Jake, who acts as a catalyst for the climax, to make her realise the high threat and how much danger they are really in. If Jake hadn’t intervened at that moment and tried to call her, the plot would have been slow just like her slow reaction in regards to the avalanche proceeding towards them. The asyndetic list of dynamic verbs ‘twisting, spinning, turning’ reinforces the semantic field of threats and actions, the fact that it is in present tense adding urgency into the text and the repetition of the suffix ‘-ing’ adds a rhythm, possibly reflecting her heart after accounting the coming disaster. In this way, after her slow reaction we also too experience Zoe’s loss of control when the overpowering avalanche attacked her, leaving ‘silence’ and ‘then to black.’
