The story of a young boy who survives for twelve days in blizzard conditions on Aspen mountain. After swearing the reader to secrecy he reveals the secret that saved his life - the furry mountain monkeys of Aspen, Colorado. Find out about these friendly creatures who have lived in the abandoned silver mining caves of Aspen for over a hundred years. With the help of a hot spring and their glowing green eyes, the monkeys have created a jungle in a cave that is a sight to be seen. Children in Aspen delight in these glowing green eyes every night as the lights of snowcats dot the ski slopes above the town!
