We have now arrived in Zermatt. There is plenty of snow everywhere, which is good, but it seems not to have snowed for about a week, because the snow is quite old and icy. The runs weren't too bad, although we accidently picked an over-skied red run, which was rather steep and icy in parts. There was a reasonable amount of powder snow on some of the other runs, although we only did two because there was not that much available at Sunnegga. We intend to go to Matterhorn Ski Paradise in the next few days, where there are more runs open, although there is less in the way of easy runs, which will be a bit difficult unless there is some reasonable snow, because icy red runs are not great to ski on. At some point, I want to switch my skis for snowblades, because with 15 days of skiing, it woud be fun to try something different.
Update on snowblades: I tried them today, and they are great. Control is easier, and there is much less to carry. It is great!
Here are some photos taken over the last few days (as always, click on the album cover below to view the whole album, and on any photo in the album to view a larger version of the photo):
