It’s time to fill the woodshed. So we cut a trail up to the muskeg and began to haul out wood.

After our endeavors, we continue to develop a ski track (langlaufen) to unlimited ski touring above our cabin….

when we stumbled on these tracks (two wolves!!):

We have been following these two tracks for a week or more. Wolves usually hunt in packs and circulate around the muskeg looking for deer in a weekly cycle; so we always look over our shoulders when skiing. We plan to develop several miles of ski touring tracks–so come up for some exercise and wolf viewing!!!

Here is Martina after a long day; and after retiring our Norwegian wooden skis we have now earned a place next to the fire with a hot chocolate & peppermint schnapps….not to mention the view awaiting our return:

Happy New Years!!
