A cold shaft of air meets the sled as a team of eager huskies leans into the harness and launches you across a white plain. Snow sings under the runners; pine trunks blur into stripes. Later, a quieter rhythm takes over as slow-hoofed reindeer guide a low sleigh beneath pale winter light. By afternoon, you’ll sit over a drilled hole in clear ice, rod in hand, while the forest watches in patient silence.
