Day 120

Wow, I almost went all of August without skiing a day. That would have ended my consecutive month streak at eight. Today was Day 120 in my ski season this year. I made it to a nice round number. For details on the other 119 days click here. 120 is also nearly 1/3 of a year (121.7 to be exact). I rented skis in Zermatt and took a gondola and two cable cars from the town at 1600m (5250ft) up to 3880m (12,700ft) in about 20 minutes. In the Winter it is possible to ski all the way back to the town which is an amazing vertical drop. Here is me in front of the Matterhorn, or Cervino as is it called in Italian. The ski resort straddles the border between Italy and Switzerland. (I promise this is the last picture of the Matterhorn.)
