We took a couple of lifts up with two rucksacks each, and booted up to the unheated "winter room" of a closed hut. We had planned on climbing the Matterhorn, but we got so much fantastic snow, that except for a mixed climb up the Riffelhorn all we did was ski. And, all of our skiing was on relatively narrow three pin, tele-gear, and leather boots!
The three best memories:
- skiing the Breithorn
- skiing the Schwarztor (and climbing Castor)
- skiing Monte Rosa (all the way to Zermatt … 10,000' vertical descent)
