// When you ski in pitch black on totally flat land, the reality reduces down into a weird combination of shadow and movements. / Snowflakes leave afterimages in the beam of the lamp. / In the morning it looks like a pack of My Little Ponies was galloping past. //
// 'Let it go' from Frozen was the official song of the trip. //
// So I was thinking... / Guy is a genius. Guy is an animal. Every girl needs a gentle stallion. / Tough guys need love and vitamin C. Tough guys are for girls! / Exactly! / *LOL* / *snigger* / *ROFL* //
// ... / Whoa! What was that?! It freezes! The ice is taking new shape! I've never experienced anything like that!! / It felt like a giant ice whale was passing under us. //
// Equipment / I have a hole under my armpit. / When there's wind, the cold goes right throught to the deepest layers. / Hang on in there! *clatter* / Wind is also threatening my cheeks. / One must cover herself. / Maybe with a fleece jacket. / If it's dark, it doesn't matter if you can't see anything. / The winter garment of the year is -- British army quilted winter pants! / Hot in every meaning of the word. If I had a beard and meaner character I'd be like Rasputin in 'Corto Maltese and the Gilded House of Samarkand' comic. //
