And it was a busy Sunday. And I got slammed into by a maniac on skis. Still, I like the fact that you can ski all day here, never repeat a trail and criss cross the border while you're at it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for all your comments. I post one more day from Cervinia (Sunday), then it's back to work. Until Spring Break anyway.ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222848486174278888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-1173669329616690462007-03-11T23:15:00.000-05:002007-03-11T23:15:00.000-05:00That third picture -- "blowing, drifting" -- is ju...That third picture -- "blowing, drifting" -- is just spectacular.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065798213115341398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-1173623893278498182007-03-11T10:38:00.000-05:002007-03-11T10:38:00.000-05:00Skied there last winter and I highly recommend ski...Skied there last winter and I highly recommend skiing over to the Zermatt side. You will get to see Monte Cervino/Matterhorn from a different perspective. It is an all day excursion so an early start is imperative. As soon as you get to the bottom of the Zermatt side, hop on a shuttle to the funicular and ride all the way to the top. The view is spectacular! Have lunch at the top and then ski to the bottom and board the tram that takes you to the Italian side. Be sure to get in first so you can ride up front; it is one utterly jaw-dropping ride! Particularly when the tram nudges up to that bare rocky peak. Cool pictures btw, your photo of Monte Cervino peeking through the clouds is first rate. Good to see the snowcover. I'll be at La Thuile in two weeks, so the photos made me feel better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-1173621483849278822007-03-11T09:58:00.000-05:002007-03-11T09:58:00.000-05:00Sounds like you've got a serious skiing jones ther...Sounds like you've got a serious skiing jones there, girl.
