        We had some snow recently in Dallas, not much but hey this is Texas.

        My dog loved it so much he even sniffed it like it was Cocaine:

        Then he signed his name in the snow like we all do, sure it may not look like much, but at least it's more legible than a doctors handwriting.

            One of my dogs loves to do that, we call him "Pissasso" because he always signs his work.

                I was already in November and will go at least twice before the end of season. Love Zermatt. Was there end of March -beginning of April in 2012.

                    Yeah I have seen that amazing video but worth another watch!! I have a full HD video of my flight but it needs editing, was the best experience of my life by far. When I flew over the summit it felt like a scene from Cliffhanger! The scale is beyond comprehension. Hey Sepo I was there at the exact same time, we maybe bumped into each other and didn't realise! I was staying at the ambassador near the train station and I'll be there again end of march to early april this year, if you fancy a heli ski. πŸ˜‰ over 13 miles of continuous skiing!!

                        Hey Oli, a good friend of mine owns a heliski operation about 40 minutes from where I live.

                        Just outrageous terrain and powder! (speaking of snow, this is him on a run)

                          It was quite possible that we were in the same place....btw off piste is on the Cervinia side or Zermatt side?

                            Off piste Zermatt side. Price includes a Swiss guide for the day. We couldn't do it last time because of the avalanches, so we just did the matterhorn fly-over and dropped off around kleine. I will upload some more pics of the journey, it was just heaven.

                            Dale, your friend's job is so amazing, I pretty much hate him πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† Thanks, always looking to broaden my horizon further than europe.

                                This is where I ski every week. 20 minutes drive from my office. Not the alps, but pretty amazing open boundary ski area!
