I'm not in any of these videos but maybe some day ;-) Sure, have done the sauna / snow bank thing many times---I'm Norwegian. I have one at home. Just add mountains.

Are you featured on this spectacular video?
I know Canadians and Minnesotians ( where I'm From) will do all sorts of things during the winters

Have you gone from sauna and jump in snow bank yet? Then there are the frozen cold water swims

Heli-skiing is where they fly you up to the top of a mountain and you ski down, usually in the back country of Canada. fresh tracks all day---no lift lines.

Never thought of base jumping out of a heli but now that you mention it, I may have to put that on my 'bucket-list.'

Holy Smokes!!! Where are you?? And heli-skiing...is that where you leap out of a helicopter with ski's on & ski down the face of a vertical mountain? I know now why scorpions, black widows & ring tailed critters sitting on your bedpost don't phase you! lol Open windows? No screens? Maybe ring-tailed cats come thru screens...yikes, i'd never sleep...maybe I'd rather leap out of the helicopter! Geez..talk about adventure seeking..you must be one heck of a sailor!!! Terri

It was smiling ;-)
I woke up at 4am to the sound of a a ring tailed cat eating an apple---it was sitting on the post of my bed.

How can you tell a scorpion is friendly?? ;-) And more...black widows in showers...i'd have to wear a haz mat suit & carry Raid..lol

The scorpion was friendly. It's the black widows that like the showers. Seriously though it was one of the best trips I've ever been on and would do it again in a heartbeat.

You had me till the "scorpions"! It is very enchanting though.

Yes it exists. You can camp or stay in these cabins but you have to book in advance. We had wild fox, scorpions, goats, and rare condors
