A low sunrise glances off a white world as the guide checks engines and hands over heavy thermal suits. Riders slide into heated layers, helmets click shut, and a line of snowmobiles pushes into a forest that feels deliberately untouched. The trees lean in under the weight of snow; the trail alternates between narrow pine corridors and sudden clearings where the Arctic sky opens wide.
