We were thankful that when we went to exchange our tickets for the day we planned to go up that the tickets were good for 10 days because it was extremely cloudy and we wouldn't have been able to see anything.

My main focus was on the "run" that I didn't concern myself with getting spooked. I think my guide was Alan, and he totally prepared me and took me on the flight of a lifetime. Matterhorn view was amazing too!”
