The engine wakes the quiet: a soft, steady vibration under your gloves as you slide onto the snowmobile and the pine forest leans close. Frosted branches scrape a pale sky while frozen marshlands stretch flat and glassy, daring you to cross them. Your guide checks the throttle and maps a line through lichen-dusted trees, and for the next hour you move with purpose across a winter landscape shaped by ice and centuries of cold.
