Snow envy-
we might just pull out a little coverage before Christmas. Your descriptive text made me flash on a movie called "Pathfinder" its from Lapland I think, 10 yrs old or so, subtitled and the only film ever in this dying language, the retelling of an ancient adventure tale. I think it was up for an Oscar. Crushingly beautiful landscape, good underdog story, great scenes of skiing, what struck me as particularly beautiful-the rhythmic singing as they ski along- its cool. Also scenes of primal tribal life, Og would like!
