Zermatt Day #2



Today was a full day of skiing. We took three different lifts to the Klien Matterhorn, and crossed over to Italy. This is where the business started for the day. A 7 mile ski run dropped us into the villiage of Cervinia IT. This place was a quaint little ski villiage. I had an expresso to warm up, and relax in the sun.
Here are some Panoramas that I took of the mountains that are right up against the villiage.
After this we got a few runs in before having a Swiss lunch of dried meat, gruyer cheese, fresh bread, and a lager bier. Why not two?
It took the rest of the day to get back to the Chalet. The snow was ten times better than yesterday. All of the skiing around here seems to be groomers, and pists that are super long. The pro Tech over here is the super G style of skiing. Nobody is conserned with off pist or backcountry. But seriously, I have not seen a slow or bad skiier while I have been here. You can tell that these people have been skiing since they were super younge. We did some exploring around town for some biers, and found the tolken Irish pub that seems to be in every international city I have ever been. Lima, Cuzco, Geneve, Basle, Zermatt, none are in Ireland, but all have an Irish pub. Rock on, and drink up.
