Our New Year's Day can be summed up in two words: horizontal snow. Well more like four words: horizontal snow in face. Struggling to stay awake, once midnight hit we threw some wood on the fire and promptly went to sleep. It turns out wood-stoves are very effective in small spaces, putting three logs on the fire might have been a bit excessive. At one point the thermometer was reading 100 F. Our little cabin was transformed into a sauna. The fire burned so hot it went our rather quickly, and I awoke sometime around 3am uncovered and freezing. The wind at this point was howling outside; my morning pee must have traveled at least 300 ft into the dark. Once we had some light out we reluctantly packed our things and made the slow stinging walk back to the car, with broken sled whipping around in the gale. It was literally breathtaking, the gusts adding a touch of drama to the scene.
