The engine wakes the white Rila forest; a low growl that quickly becomes company as a line of snowmobiles threads between firs and sun-cut clearings. Riders peel away from the resort at about 1,350 m elevation, following an instructor through well-cut forest tracks and occasional open ridgelines where the view reaches toward distant peaks.
