We fought the Alps and we won! I couldn't decide if we call this blog "Yes, Matt that is the Matterhorn....yes the big one....yes the actual Matterhorn itself....yes". Even though the Matterhorn is beautiful, Matt thought it should be bigger and kept stopping people to ask them if that mountain indeed was the Matterhorn and everyone said "yes". :-)
Now on with the skiing.....here is where we skied! Cervinia is on the Italy/Swiss border and you can actually ski on both sides! We took the ski lifts all of the way up to Plateu Rosa and went back down on skis. Absolutely wonderful skiing here and we will definitely go back!

You know how they always tell you to not go off the trails? This is why.....Ian! :-)
The mornings were beautiful and sunny and the afternoons were a bit windy and we had some "white out" moments.
