Great views.
Didn't you do something like this before? Seems like I remember the missus sliding down a hill or mountain in an earlier video?

I love it! One of my best memories is of taking a train from Domodossola, Italy to Zermatt, Switzerland during a scholarship tour in 1986. I got on the train in a loud, crowded, less-than-tidy Italian stazione and riding into and through a tunnel in the Alps to arrive in the Zermatt Bahnhof. Walking out, it was utterly quiet. The streets were spotless. The people were subdued in speech and went about their business without judging or staring at anyone. I loved it, after having worked for the Swiss between 1981 and Spring of 1986. It was like being home.

My first time to Zermatt was in 1971. Got there by train from Visp late night. Stayed in our B&B. Next morning woke up and went to the breakfast room and there she was. I remember thinking that the Pyramids are awesome and the Eiffel Tower is cool and goodness gracious the Taj Mahal is amazing...and realizing that compared to God's creation, they all pale in comparison. The Matterhorn is defiant and simply magnificent.
Had the good fortune of coming back many times for Thanksgiving ski weekends with various ski clubs for the US Armed Forces in Germany. Not the greatest ski resort, but a setting unmatched.
