As we will finish in Zermatt I thought I would point out that we will ski right underneath the North Face of the Matterhorn, the most photographed and painted mountain on earth. (This picture is from the Les Alpes de Livres, probably the premier vendor of first edition mountaineering books, paintings, and engravings.)
You might want to bookmark the following site which - as the season get closer - may have some excellent information (in English) about the European ski mountaineering scene. At the moment they have a vibrant forum going on the subject of "The Haute Route: AT or Telemark?"
