SOLVED. children trapped by snow [s]

[Kathy]

Looking for an old children's book about 4/5 children (siblings?) maybe in Europe? Trapped by a blizzard/avalanche in a cabin/house with no electricity. Starving, contemplating eating rats. When rescue or electricity or daylight finally comes, find hams hanging over their heads.... Publishing likely prior to 1975. Thanks!

Here are a couple possibilities:

Prisoners in the Snow
http://www.amazon.com/The-Chalet-Sain... (no goodreads entry)

However, I definitely read something very much like this in the early 80's and neither of these is the one I read, so I will keep looking.

Here it is - this is what I was thinking of! Landslide!
