One of my favorite photos from the Cervinia/Zermatt ski trip last year is of my lovely wife standing beside a Swiss hut with the Matterhorn in the background. And yes, the wind can be wicked. Even though that day was sunny and calm, there was one spot on the pass that was an icy blast replete with snow pellets. That was the only spot that was like that; not abnormal for mountains but freakish nonetheless. As for getting hit by a skier, that is a result of some people skiing faster than what is reasonable given their actual abilities. This is what I refer to as "delusions of adequacy." Thanks for your ski reporting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-1173763317871428702007-03-13T01:21:00.000-05:002007-03-13T01:21:00.000-05:00Oh that is terrible.

See? Royalty do not go to Cervinia. They prefer the glitz on the other side. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm, to think that I shared a gondola with the high and mighty... Maybe not so mighty actually.ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222848486174278888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-1173668106777831702007-03-11T22:55:00.000-05:002007-03-11T22:55:00.000-05:00aaaaaahhhh good end to the day. and what a day!aaaaaahhhh good end to the day. and what a day!Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757079675613448834noreply@blogger.com
