Some ski days are just unforgettable, and today was one of those perfect moments on the mountain. I had the pleasure of spending a full day of freeride skiing with two amazing clients, a father and daughter from the US. And what a day it was! With over 40 cm of fresh snow falling overnight, the conditions were simply spectacular.
Fresh Powder and First Tracks
We kicked off the day early, eager to make the most of the untouched powder. The first descents in Cervinia were nothing short of magical. The snow was soft and deep, perfect for carving smooth, flowing turns. We explored some hidden lines, finding the best pockets of powder and enjoying the sensation of floating down the mountainside.
The energy was incredible. Watching the father and daughter duo embrace the thrill of freeriding together was inspiring. Their excitement and smiles said it all—this was a day they would never forget.
Crossing into Zermatt for More Adventure
After a morning of incredible runs in Cervinia, we decided to take our adventure a step further by crossing into Zermatt. The views were breathtaking, with the Matterhorn standing proudly in the background. The descents on the Swiss side offered new challenges, steeper lines, and even more powder to enjoy.
The bond between father and daughter shone through as they encouraged each other and celebrated every successful turn. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love guiding. Sharing the thrill of the mountains and seeing the joy it brings is unbeatable.
A Well-Deserved Mountain Lunch
All that skiing worked up quite an appetite, so we took a well-deserved break for a delicious mountain lunch. There’s nothing like enjoying a hearty meal with panoramic views of snow-capped peaks all around. It was the perfect chance to relax, share stories, and soak in the magic of the day.
Back for More and Apres-Ski Fun
With renewed energy, we headed back for a couple more runs, eager to squeeze every last drop of fun from the day. The snow was still incredible, and the final descents were a perfect end to our freeride adventure.
But the day wasn’t over yet! We wrapped up with some well-deserved apres-ski fun, laughing, relaxing, and reliving the best moments of the day. There’s something special about winding down after an epic day on the slopes with good company and good vibes.
Final Thoughts
Days like this are what skiing is all about—adventure, connection, and unforgettable memories. It was a privilege to guide such enthusiastic and skilled skiers and to witness their joy and passion for the mountains.
