We started today by sleeping until we woke up - to the church bells at 7:45 in Zermatt! We did allow ourselves some time to relax and slowly shower, pack and get ready to go. Jason and Rachelle joined us for a late breakfast and then we headed out of town on the 10:40 train to Geneva. The train ride was beautiful. During the mountain portion of the ride we followed a river from Zermatt all the way to the bottom. There were so many neat little farms with ...

Kevin's Day Three days of skiing gets tiresome so Jason and I weren't as quick out the door this morning. It also snowed all evening and was still snowing in the morning so many of the lifts were closed to start the day. After a long breakfast, we finally headed out the door. Our goal was to cover as much mountain as possible while also exploring the many areas we hadn't skied. We started off the same way we did the first day, skiing through town to the bu...

Keely's Day Rachelle and I decided not to ski today. The forecast was for a lot of snow and clouds, so we decided it would make for a good day to relax. We ate breakfast with the boys and then we took a couple of hours to read and relax before venturing out for the day. Midmorning we walked around town for a bit talking to some people about massage options, but then opted to go on a hike. We started out at about 11:45 on a hike that we thought would take us...

What a difference a day makes! The morning started with breathtaking views of Matterhorn from our room before heading down for an early breakfast. Keely's lesson started at 9 at the top of the Sonnega lift. After a quick bite we skied to the train that took us underground up the mountain! Keely went off with 3 other trainees and a trainer for a morning of learning good ski technique in the fresh powder. The views were absolutely spectacular. It feels h...

Today was the first day skiing and we woke up to fresh powder - tons of powder! We enjoyed a nice European breakfast of meats, cheeses and pastries and then it was off to the ski room to change. The hotel has a nice little room downstairs where we can store our skis, put our boots on the boot dryer and keep the mess and snow out of our room. Kevin, Jason and Rachelle planned to go skiing while Keely stayed back to check out the town. Since there was so much...
