Nice first tracks. I miss backcountry skiing. I can recommend some overnight trips. Wait until late Feb or Mar, plenty of snow, more daylight and milder weather. I used a little kiddie sled to haul half my gear with a big dog. Skiing is much better with less weight. Winter camping requires a little more gear. A Whelen lean to with a fire is like a luxury hotel after a day in the snow. Prepare food ahead of time and freeze it. Cooking dinner is just melting snow and boiling food in a plastic bag. That is what the mushers do Bring insulation for your dog to sleep on. I zipped my BC in a large jacket and she stayed in her own sleeping bag all night.
