More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The snow holds a sound of its own: a soft crush under track and boot, the wind sketching lines across the frozen lake. You push off from Levi, climb onto a shared snowmobile and cross a white expanse toward a hole cut into the ice. The guide pauses, the forest leans in, and the only movement is the thin plume of steam from the campfire where fish, if any, will be fried.
