Your eyes...

Eli your eyes are the most beautiful and honest I have ever seen.
I went through some of the pictures and you laugh at most of them. How is that possible?
There is so many things running through my mind and it all ends up with a picture of you lying in the snow. You always lowed snow. But this doesn't make sense. You were so full of life. Much more than me.You gave me Martin and Jakub. They are so motivated and motivating. How could I move on without them? They are my buddies. My right hand. They mention you time to time. They are proud of you. I am.
You were much stronger than me, physically and mentally. Why did I let you go climbing with somebody else? Because I know you lowed climbing. You lowed to be out there. And I know you lowed us the most. I know that. I know know you kept fighting until the last breath. Your endurance will fuel me for the rest of my life.
Damn it, my life started when I met you but most of it is gone when you'r not here any more.
I miss you so much, there is no words for it. Only tears. Tears full of pain.
These 9 years with you is something I will never forget. I have no regrets. Only beautiful memories.
I love you Eli.

First turns this winter. Red Heather.

Thanks to my friend Oskar, I was able to enjoy snow the best way possible. On skis. Well I could still go alone, but it's always better to have a good companion. It snowed quite a lot yesterday and the visibility was so so. Tree skiing would be ideally, but better snow was in the open areas. Measured 1.4m of snow close to Paul's ridge.
More adventure on the car approach then on skis. Really slippery on the steep parts of the road last .5km. We had to stop on the steep hill and could't move forward anymore. Started to back up slowly but when the brakes were touched, the car started to slide towards 10m drop. As the car was sliding sideways and gaining speed, I opened the door and jumped out. I was pretty sure this is not going to end up well. But Oscars driving skills brought the car without a scratch to the lower parking lot. Once again this road proved to be one of the more scary ones around Vancouver.
