As a brutally cold winter and trapping season begins, a handful of tough, modern day Northerners head out to their traplines in remote parts of Yukon and Alaska, battling sub-zero temperatures and hazardous terrain. Outside of Dawson City, Guy Couture attempts a dangerous snowmobile crossing over a jagged mountain ridge. Megan Melanson and her 2-year-old daughter Tasin fly in a white out with hopes of landing at their family cabin in Bear Lake. In Alaska’s Mount DuRelle region, Mike Willard and Dave Bruss are trying to wind their way across the deadly Tazlina glacier. And on the Sixty Mile River, Cor Guimond gets his season off to a strong start with a stunning catch.
