:shock: What a bizzare accident! :mrgreen:

Just back from Zermatt, I can confirm that most of the area is open. Slushy spring conditions lower down, and the weird little guy is playing the piano in the bar in the main st.

Just finished work, have tomorrow off, now heading for a beer to decide if I go to Zermatt or not. Won't get 3 full days as I can't be arsed travelling tonight, but 2.5 will do me nicely.

Bandit, did you get over to Cervinia? What were conditions like over there?

Tino, didn't go over to Cervinia, due to me getting a half price tcket for Zermatt only :D However there were lots of Italians skiing the Zermatt side.

1st time for me using the full blown Matterhorn Express. So much better than before, a seat....all the way to Trockner Steg
:shock:
Tino, the black run from Furg to Furi is open and skiable....or in your case ) .

Zermatt will still have lots of squaddies about, and PdG competitors as it's on until the 25th.

I love that run, imagine it's a bit interesting on the narrow section just before the wee run out to the restaurant. I rode that in May last year to discover that section cut in two by a landslide. That'll be why it was closed :)
