More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cold wind lifts off the flat, white plain as the guide tightens a helmet strap and the snowmobile thrums to life. Guests climb into supplied winter coveralls, breath visible in the thin air, and follow a trainer out across frozen rivers toward a small, glassy lake. The machines carve crisp tracks; the landscape opens in wide, low horizons where birch trunks stand like pale columns.
