Beginning the climb up to Gornergrat on the Gornergrat bahn, looking at Zermatt town and the Matterhorn above
My wonderful wife allowed me to meet my friend Mike (who flew in much farther then me, all the way from Seattle) in Zermatt, Switzerland for a long weekend of skiing in February. Zermatt is just amazing... size, terrain, food etc. it's a skiing experience that once you've had, you can't help but measure against every ski trip thereafter. I had wanted to ski Zermatt since I was a kid. I always had one of those seemingly unrealistic plans for a ski trip to Zermatt... two years ago I finally went for the first time with my brother inlaw Rob. However, one time was just not enough...

If it says off limits in Switzerland it usually means you will die, all other off piste is otherwise encouraged
Z coming out of the trees and boulder field into a nice powder run

Klein Matterhorn and the Matterhorn in the distance
Here is a little video of Mike and I made with the helmet cam Fiona got me for Christmas:

You and Mike have REALLY cool wives... y'all totally owe them big-time! I'm glad you had such a great trip. It sounds wonderful and looks beautiful. Rad video, too. ;) You and Mike are hot stuff on the slopes! And you're so cute, dressed all matchy-matchy...
We loved all the pictures, but the video was completely amazing! What a beautiful place. I want to to there (maybe). It looked like it was so nice and smooth a lot of the time, but then there were those obstactles ... in and out between trees and BIG rocks!!! I can't believe you didn't crash at all! It was a "totally awesome" video ...
Who was wearing the camera?
Thanks for sharing! Love, Mom (Dad too) xox
... I want to GO there ...
You guys do have such nice wives! Seriously, it looks like you had such a fun time, what a beautiful place to ski and stuff. That helmet camera takes such good video, too, you actually made me want to try some snow sports again sometime ;)
