Synopsis
Prospecting for golds, the gang travels by dogsled through snowy terrain) even catching a glimpse of Santa Claus. They arrive at where they want to start digging. Behind a wall of ice, Shaggy uncovers a prehistoric creature which was supposedly frozen there for a million years, but suddenly comes to life.
They grab Scrappy, who thinks it's a "claim jumper", and ski away. They hide amongst some seals, but Scrappy hits him with a snowball. They hide in a poster, but Scrappy gives that away too) and winds up in the creatures mouth.
Scrappy next sets up a Scrappy-trap, and Shaggy and Scooby think they've escaped it for a change.
