The Matterhorn

We're settled in Zermatt and what a great day! It stated a little early though, with Scott waking at 1 AM due to jet lag. He went to the hotel gym and lifted weights for 2.5 hours while I tried to get back to sleep. At 4 I threw in the towel and we took the 5 AM train to Zermatt. Never rode a train up such a steep grade. Extraordinary scenery with hanging glaciers, water falls and chalets hanging from the most improbable spots. We're in the hotel now, reunited with skis, bindings back on and adjusted. We ski GS tomorrow. Three gondolas to the snowfields. I hear the snow is cold and hard. Can't wait!
