With the arrival of winter, many of us look to escape the cold. Chilly breezes tend to chase people to warmer climates, sun-swept beaches, and Caribbean cruises, but this winter, the team at 3Birds Template encourages you to think a bit outside the box. Imagine instead the exhilaration you'd feel taking a Jaguar or Land Rover model out for a spin on an icy track carved on a vast frozen lake. Imagine your heart pumping as you enjoy arctic adventures, like snowmobiling and husky safari trips. If this sounds like something you'd like to do this winter, then you are officially invited to attend the first-ever Ice Academy from Jaguar Land Rover.

Based at the automaker's winter testing facility in Lapland, Sweden, participants will be able to enjoy remarkable driving experiences among the area's snowcapped trees and mountainous landscape. Drive the Jaguar F-TYPE, F-PACE and Range Rover Sport in sub-zero temperatures with expert tuition from trained drivers and experience everything the brand has to offer in such extreme conditions. Those that attend will also have the chance to try out classic models like the Jaguar MKII, MKVII and XK150, and Land Rover Series I, Series II, and Series III--all without modern brakes, power steering, or traction control.

The three- and four-night experiences start at $2,754 and include accommodation, meals, transfers, and professional drivers to help you make the most of what will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience. Bookings are being taken now for January 2017 trips, so be sure to register your place soon if you're interested in going.

For more information on anything else Jaguar Land Rover has to offer you this winter (perhaps a test drive in an exciting new model?), don't hesitate to call, contact us online, or visit us in person at 505 W. Franklin St., Chapel Hill, NC 27516 today to schedule your appointment.
