That's gonna be a Yes! For instance track A:

A ATSIX 61/20 62/30 63/40 63/50 MAXAR

Goes through waypoint 63/50 (63 North 50 West) which qualifies

I had paper hand and exited, but the jet stream forecast was in favor (headwind at lower latitude when Westbound, justifying the fuel to go over Greenland)
