Zermatt has been great so far; it is decorated for Christmas, and everything is so nice and close to the apartment. Unfortunately, there has been no snow. The temperature is always below 0, so there is constant snowmaking on the mountain (which, though necessary, is annoying to ski through). According to the news, there is not going to be any snow on the Alps soon. We need snow so that we can have better runs, but even without snow, the skiing is enjoyable. More snow would mean more choice of runs, because at the moment there are only a few runs which are open. They are not crowded, and they are great runs, but some variety would be appreciated. We have survived so far with reasonable food, and thanks to BBC World, BBC Prime, and Risiko (German 'Risk'), we have been able to cope with the 4:00pm night. I have found a reasonable bar/lounge which provides free wireless internet, which is a plus, despite the fact that the connection is very slow.
