So, with two weeks off between Christmas and New Years, and nothing planned other than Christmas dinner, I suddenly got it in my head that I should go north and see the Northern Lights.

Poking around the internet, I find that nobody is running tours this time of year. Would it be completely mad to head up to Nunavut, NWT or Yukon this time of year? I know it'll be cold, but would I be able to at least find some stuff to do, specifically see the northern lights, dog sledding, snowmobilng and snow shoeing, or will it just be too dark and cold to reasonably expect to do any of those things?
