Zermatt Matterhorn Skirun

Downhill ski run Testa Grigia - Valtournanche ::
my plan was to ski Klein Matterhorn / Glacier Paradise down to Valtournanche, but the cable car from Trockener Steg up to the Glacier Paradise was out of order. Snow conditions were spring snow,  after Testa Grigia 2 days old powder, after Bec Carré hard packed concrete. I love this ski run, I know it well, but not by heart, it's on the very left side of the ski area Zermatt/Cervinia/Valtournanche, seldom crowded, long and high altitude vertical meters. At the bottom awaits you a nice and simple restaurant/bar, "Le Moulin", good cakes (it makes You even more happy) and the largest loudspeakers in a restaurant. iLove Big Mountains, big snow and big Loudspeakers.
Filming was blind, with a SONY HDR-CX730, handheld, LCD screens are worth shit in snow or on a beach, they build self-driving cars, but are not able to produce a LCD screen you can use in bright sunlight. And is it now recording or not ? And dear LCD screen designers, don't test your stuff in your air conditioned and darkened and shaded office but go outside to the sandy beach or ....

Thank You for watching, URsoNICE, includes the LCD screen designers.
