A cold wind pushes against your face shield as two snowmobiles stitch white tracks across a quiet taiga. The guide checks the route, then leads the group away from the resort roads and into open fells where the silence dares you to listen. Snowdrifts scrape along tree trunks and a frozen river reflects the low winter sun like a strip of hammered metal.
