Fairly interesting episode, adequately described by other reviewers. An unusual feature is that none of the action takes place at the ranch or in its environs- we see Slim and Jess battening down the hatches before leaving to take up temporary jobs as guides for the army. Meanwhile Andy and Jonesy are heading off to Laramie to wait out the bad weather. Which did make me wonder where the livestock were! Horses, a cow, goats, chickens, cat, Andy's waifs and strays..... it never specified who'd be caring for any of them!! This programme does like to cover practical points as a rule. The plot is mainly centred upon Slim's activities, including his fatal attraction for the white woman turned Indian sympathiser. Naturally like all the romances, this understandably went nowhere. A golden rule which still holds good today is that heroes remain steadfastly single! I didn't mind the fake snow (but would horses be left tied up outside in it?) and the avalanche looked real enough, probably from stock footage. Watchable though not much interaction between our main characters.
