 Poster: A snowHead

@luv2sk1, I think I would, in your position book Zermatt  be aware that even the super efficient Germanic Swiss aren't necessarily super agressive about posting up next seasons booking availability and a phone call might be necessary (and they will speak English).

+1. (This thread makes me want to return there myself, it's donkey's years since I've been and I couldn't ski for toffee then anyway. But it's unlikely I'll ski in Switzerland any time soon.  )

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

And presumably you don't have to book them in advance and can pick and choose your days on an ad hoc basis?
If so, you'd be in a better position than most, if you're staying for a little longer than just 6 nights, to allow for jet lag, weather, plans with your wife etc.Plus, hopefully others can clarify whether Zermatt generally gets an influx of visitors at the weekend too.
I only boarded Monday to Thursday this week, and the Italian side was noticeably busier on Monday than Tuesday or Wednesday (although still far from busy), but my hotel reception was staying open until 9.30pm last night to receive arrivals, whereas they generally close at 7.
This website might help with planning to avoid school holidays (especially the "sports" ones that generally fall in February / early March) but always worth double checking the dates with other websites.
Oh and in case it matters, snowboarders are very much in the minority here too from what I've observed. Just in case that matters and you hate that side-slipping scraping noise we sometimes make (I do too, especially when it's me!)
I only mention this, with tongue planned firmly in cheek, because of a conversation I had with a lovely British couple of skiers who I met on a cable-car on Tuesday and then bumped into (metaphorically) on the bus on Wednesday

@jebroni3_16, you're funny guy! I do tolerate snowboarders, got used to them. In our local resort close to Los Angeles, the ratio of snowboarders to skiers is probably 100 to 1. And, thank you for the school holidays calendar link, very helpful.
