Top of the World, Ma...

Since we were unable to make our annual trip to Gore Mountain in the Adirondacks, we spent a few days at Zermatt, Switzerland. It is about 2.5 hours from our home and is known for the famous peak "the Matterhorn", which you will see in a lot of these pictures. It is not the highest peak in Europe, but it is the most dramatic. In Zermatt, I believe you can see 10 of the 11 highest peaks in Europe. The highest we skied was at 3800 meters, and top to bottom it is about a 13 kilometer ski.
