The first breath of the tour is a cold, clear inhale: white light spills across the forest as the sleigh waits, low and steady, attached to a compact snowmobile. You climb into warm overalls supplied by the operator; steam from your breath fogs and then clears as the machine nudges forward. The snow-laden pines close in like an audience watching the sled's progress, and the guide's quiet directions become the only human soundtrack.
