[pct-l] Snow Navigation & maps

[AsABat]

Yes, sort of like the hikers that headed to the lake one morning,
hiking into the sun. When they left the lake, they weren't sure which
way the car was, until they remembered that the sun was in front of
them while they were walking that morning, so they should walk in the
direction of the sun.

(And, if you don't see the problem, think about it again.)
