Out of several park and forest themed books I decided Avalanche Patrol (1951) by Montgomery Atwater sounded potentially interesting. Atwater (1904-1976) wrote 11 outdoor juvenile novels, and like many authors he worked in the field he wrote about. He was known as the father of avalanche research in North America.
Chapter 1: Paid Ski Vacation
Brad Davis gets yanked out of class because his Uncle Bob, “Chief of Wildlife in Region One of the U. S. Forest Service,” received an urgent message. Whitecaps National Forest wants a man for emergency duty. Brad is a skier, but Uncle Bob and his other Uncle Lane started their careers “before the time of the ski craze” so they primarily use snowshoes.
Is Brad an orphan? Orphan aren’t very common in career fiction; most protagonists have good parents.
