Some summer skiing to cool ya off

Z
This post was updated on .
My son is in Zermatt skiing and training on the glacier at up to 12500 feet of elevation for the next 3 weeks.  Zermatt is the largest summer ski area in the world with close to 3000 feet of Vert.  They board the 1st of 3 gondis or trams at 6:30.  It takes 45 mins to get to the skiing and ski until around noon.

I’ll post some photos and if you want to see all the photos follow Northwood skiing on Facebook or Instagram








My son in the water which is glacier run off and very refreshing

This summer double Z has been really working hard on his dry land and lifting and has gained considerable weight and muscle mass.  It will interesting to see the results that come from that.

Z you and your wife are to be commended for providing  this young man with the experience of a lifetime . Many never have the opportunity to follow a dream . Your sacrifices and willingness to provide  will imprint an indelible mark on your son and will be a memory that lasts ..
