What an experience. Especially the "hovel". I can imagine what it was like with a big storm trying to blow the roof in. Fantastic.

We built a bit of a hallway with some ice walls and a roof of plywood. A ladder and a trapdoor got us outside. Result: a cozy little cave under the snow. Kind of like the ptarmigan we were chasing - they sleep in snow caves as well. See http://www.bluepeak.net/pictures/canada/chilkatpass/shack-winter.jpg.html .
