A cold breath of ocean wind follows the group out of Seward and into the white hush. Engines fire, a line of late-model snowmobiles hum to life, and the town shrinks behind a wall of spruce and granite. For the next two to four hours, riders trade pavement for a landscape that feels governed by ice: open snowfields that reflect a thin winter sky, ridgelines that frame the mouth of fjords, and the low, cragged face of Exit Glacier waiting like an old, patient neighbor.
