Here are some photos of Zermatt in later April.
A record snow year in Zermatt - so they did not dig out / operate some of their highest lifts. It was fine with me - lowered the skier traffic. But just such a weird ethos about the place. Best ever year - but we are not going to bother with some of the best lifts. Crazy Insane! Squaw Valley gets upset after a 10 foot blizzard if they do not get all lifts back in 2 day --- try a season!!!
I became friends with the cable car guys - because I was the only one there. They started watching out for me - I told them my planned routes. They were Swiss German - communication issues - I would just point a bit to various places. Sometimes a head would shake NO.
