Cold Prey (2006)

A Norwegian film about a group of college students who head off into the mountains for a day of snowboarding.  When one of the guys breaks his leg, they look for the closest shelter and end up at a deserted ski lodge.  

They make a fire, get some food, and find newspaper clippings about a young boy who disappeared at the lodge years ago.  Soon after they discover a room in the basement with clippings of other  disappearances and current styles of clothing which shows the place is not as deserted as they thought.

The film does a good job of building the tension, although the ending is not as big a surprise as it is supposed to be.  A decent film which I have heard has a sequel which is not as good.
