Hi Mary,The heaviest pack I have had was about 35 pounds. Not too heavy but not something you forget about either. The skiing is not all that great. Very hard snow and ice. We went one time and I will try to go again when I get back to McMurdo. The sleep schedule is kind of hard. I usually get to sleep around 12 or 1. There have been a couple of nights that I might have started sleeping around 11 but there is something about the full time sun that just makes you think you might not have to sleep. I usually get up at 7. See you soon,JK
