Except for the cold. No way you could drive a skidoo there with no mittens nor the coat open, somebody would have picked up your fingers on the ground before the end of the day. Probably an arctic fox.I'm surprised they make you work when there so much snow, you must dig a long time before reaching the main rock. Yeah, I grew up in northern Ab - i have worked outside all day in -50 degrees' haven't lost any fingers yet - but i did come close once. frostbite is about the most pain i have ever been in. I rank it above getting hit on the thumb with a 12 pound sledge hammer but below having a bulldozer blade land on my foot.
Here in Terrace it was a very nice day. probably -5 degrees. but it got down to -40 degrees - i did up my jacket.
I had a secret weapon to deal with the snow.
But before the snow cat came we had to it by hand - i think we had 27 feet of snow
The rocks were very sexy - thats why we do this in the snow - in some ways it is actually easier in the winter than in the summer. we can use snowmobiles to get around instead of walking or using a 1,000 dollar / hour helicopter
