Zermatt Visit

Hello!

I have just booked our first international ski trip! We are going to Zermatt for one week in February. We have a full Sunday to Friday open. I am trying to figure out the cadence of the trip.

We arrive late Saturday night after a long full day of travel from Los Angeles. I think it is smart to plan to NOT ski on Sunday and just to enjoy Zermatt, get acclimated, unpack and organize ski equipment, etc.

So I need to play Monday-Friday. We have 3 adults who are American blue-black skiers, one 9 year old who is comfortable on blues, and a 6 year old who did her first green last season. We hope to get the kids on the mountain once before this trip to get them warmed up for the year, but I do need some help planning the days. I really have no grasp for how big this mountain is, how difficult it is to navigate, or challenging it is. A friend who has done this trip and is an experienced skier highly recommended a guide for the entire trip.

Thinking this:

Arrive Saturday

Sunday: nothing

Monday: guide for adults. Lesson for 9 year old. Lesson for 6 year old.

Tuesday: guide for adults and 9 year old to go over to the Italian side. Lesson for 6 year old

Wednesday: Break

Thursday: half day guide for adults and 9 year old and 6 year old, and then that night do the moonlight ski experience

Friday: guide for adults and 9 year old

Where should we ask to go? Open to any and all suggestions!

Depart Saturday

Current design for the back of the house....

But no real consideration. was made for a patio. Photo one is the view of the house from the backyard and the second photo is a cross section to show the current designed roof line. We hope for a covered area, but also are fearful of impacting natural light. I have no ideas. Curious what you fine people might think!

Lech / 3 Valleys / San Moritz

Help me choose a place for a generational ski trip! Kids, parents, and grandparents. Want to be within 3 hours of Munich or Zurich with a reliable safe drive. Want a place with a village where the grandparents and kids can stroll on a day off. Convenient ski in/out is nice. 5 star accommodations are nice!

Also worried about lift lines in mid February :)

Flow advice

Hi everyone!

Hoping to just get some thoughts on some of the flow. I am doing an addition that includes a new kitchen/breakfast area. The first photo shows the plans. The orange oval is a breakfast table. I am wondering if I should have a freestanding round breakfast table floating more in the middle of that space, rather than right up against the window with the bench. I am worried that there is just too much dead open space between the breakfast table and the island. (the set of doors to the top of the table leads outside, where the open doorway at the bottom side flows to the living room. Also attached some elevations in case that helps you get your bearings. Thanks!

Help with color selection

Stitching this castle! The middle section and the two flanking towers were painted the lightest colors and the far left and far right towers slightly darker. I started stitching them that way, but I realized I also need to somehow subtly differentiate the top turrets from the walls. In the middle section I tried a just slightly darker line, but I’m not sure I like it. I’m considering making all of the bottom dark (yes tearing out what I have! That’s okay!) like the wall on the right and all of the second story turrets the lighter color. Has anyone stitched this? Would love some suggestions!
