	Ski and snowboard at Zermatt, Switzerland
		Zermatt, Switzerland’s best-known ski resort, was the base for the famous first assaults on the Matterhorn in the 1860s (prior to that villagers only climbed as high as their cattle).
		Un-fortunately, the horse-drawn sleighs that used to carry tourists and townsfolk through the village, along with bags of groceries or ski equipment, have been largely replaced with speeding electric trucks and carts; when you hear a ringing bell, get to the side of the street.
		Fortunately, Zermatt is a destination resort; that is, the village is difficult enough for weekend skiers to reach to keep most of them away, and the vast terrain — more than 195 miles of marked ski trails (including Breuil-Cervinia) and a resort lift capacity over 78,700 people per hour — easily absorbs this many people.

		There is little I do not love about Zermatt, its beauty I swear has ruined me for any other sight as even while watching sunsets in Thailand my mind drifted back to snow capped peaks and hot chocolate on the mountains.
		One of the best things about skiing in Zermatt is that the traditional skiing heirarchy (the I've skied here, here and here and with so and so which makes me the best) is completely nonexistant.
		There is also very little resort slagging (Chammonix suck because....verbier is so much better than Zermatt because...), I like to believe this is because they all know Zermatt is one of the best resorts and dont feel the need to make a point.
