AAAALPS!

This past weekend was incredible- I took a bus with 20 other students to the Italian/Swiss alps and snowboarded for 2 and a half days in Breuil-Cervinia and Zermatt on massive mountains with huge rocky peaks, glaciers, and no trees due to lack of oxygen! Unforgettable. Here's some shots.

mozart & me- i took a ton of pics of this big guy!

snow-eating siesta w/ tim

checkin out the switzerland view
and chucking snowballs into the valley

being in the alps makes you feel veeeery tiny!
(those specks are people)

getting on the glacier paradise tram

see where it took us?!?! (top right)
i thought i was going to die

i sprinted up the stairs.

making the climb to 12,736 feet

of course my batteries died as soon as we reached the top!
(i had to borrow this picture from someone!)
after checking out the view, we rode down that :)

our crew at the highest liftable peak in europe!

the last day was very very windy.
i had to stop and cover my face when it blew too hard.

one last slobbery kiss from MOZART before leaving!

THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!! I'm so jealous.. I know someone who go to skydive over the alps this past fall.. maybe when it gets warmer you should get in on that...
