Puzzles #618 & #619 - Snowy Mammoth (Four Winds)

Before WPC 2023, I ran a Puzzle Getchu!, a contest themed on Ape Escape. I had intended to queue these puzzles for posting before WPC, but didn't have the time. Better late than never!

Snowy Mammoth is the tenth level. It has a windy section, so I went with Four Winds. I considered Compass to lean into the "you are lost!" mailbox, or something about an igloo or ice, but... eh, this was what worked best. The example was actually harder to make than the 10 point contest puzzle, something about the layout probably? The contest puzzle ended up with a solid logical theme so maybe that helped too, with always having a clear idea for a "next move" in mind.
