A cold breath of mountain air hits as the van climbs out of Bucharest and the low buildings give way to dark spruce and white slopes. By the time the group reaches the snowmobile base near Sinaia, the Carpathians have already begun to demand attention — ridgelines shoulder the sky and pine forests murmur with the movement of wind and ice.
