So that's what those people on the north slope keep going on about. 30+ mph winds, and me on a snowmachine at 20 mph heading directly into the wind. My face feels like I've shaved it with a cheese grater.

Conditions at 12 mile and Eagle Summit are exactly crap. Visibility was nil. I didn't see a single person with a caribou, because all the Caribou were hunkering down for the weather. Me and the guy I was with decided to bail after the winds picked up even more.
