It’s a short story about a guy who freezes to death in the artic. I read it to Jill recently because it was so cold. Anyway he gets his feet wet and that’s why he freezes, just thought of that.

Anyway thats probably it.

But my snowshoes kept falling off, so I swapped them for my skiis! Peter’s stayed on and he had a great time 🙂 Have fun!
