Varied weekend.

This weekend started for me on Friday. I was planing to take a look at one line really close to our house. Mt Harvey- North ramp. 1645 meters high offers a steep hidden line around 250m long. I've heard that it was not skied yet. I couldn't find any info about the slope steepness, so I wanted to see it live. After half an hour drive we arrived at parking lot in Lions bay. Slavo refused to grab the snow shoes. I am not a big fan of them either, but this was the biggest mistake of the day. As soon as we hit the snow line, Slavo started to sink through the crust up to his knees, sometimes more. He was for sure exhausted when we arrived at the ramp. Soon we decided to turn back, because the snow was still pretty deep. I went up the ramp to the first left bend. I was still thinking about the cornices up there was doing slow progress anyway. This is called hard work :-)I jumped on my skis and headed down. The slope was +- 43degrees, steepening pass the bend. I guess up to 50. Snow quality for skiing was even worse. Anyway I want to give it one more chance when Jano arrives and before the snow disappears. It was a nice day though.
On Saturday we skied with Elena up on Seymour. This is was she said: "my nicest skiing this season." I don't agree. Every skiing is memorable of course!
And Sunday? The worst stomach problems I have ever had. Probably some virus. No detailed description. No water for 24hours and no food for 36h. The scale shoved 68kg.
