5th March 2017

There was a wonderful double low pressure system on the Alps yesterday which gave us 45cm of new powder snow on the top slopes near Italy, and 30cm lower down:

Zermatt is just under the two 'L's

The result is that today most of us skipped Sunday lunch, there were just too many off-piste courses:

The north face of the Matterhorn and the Hirli slopes
