A lifetime of winter travel in the North

Peter Heebink’s account brings together more than four decades of self-supported ski and snowshoe expeditions across the Yukon and neighbouring regions. Its scope is measured in distance and time: 15,000 kilometres, more than 1,500 days and nights, and journeys through the Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia and Alaska. Routes cross First Nation Traditional Territories, rivers and mountain passes, linking the Beaufort Sea with Juneau and reaching from Mount Logan toward the Ragged Range Mountains. The book frames backcountry travel as a collective undertaking, with more than 160 companions sharing in the expeditions and their demands for resilience, ingenuity and cooperation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in northern Canadian and Alaskan travel accounts
  • Ski trekkers and snowshoeing enthusiasts
  • Those curious about long-term, self-supported wilderness expeditions

Book overview

Join the author and over 160 companions as they journey through 15,000 km of true north landscapes. This book is an account of more than 1,500 days and nights, over 45 winters, travelling through the backcountry of the Yukon and into N.W.T., B.C., and Alaska. These self-supported ski and snowshoe expeditions weave through First Nation Traditional Territories, across pristine rivers and over mountain passes. Routes span the western reaches of Mount Logan to the eastern edges of the Ragged Range Mountains, and forge a continuous path from the shores of the Beaufort Sea to Juneau, Alaska. These are stories of resilience, ingenuity, camaraderie, and an unyielding spirit of exploration.
