We're skiing the Alps for today's Geo Quiz. High winds kept a lot of skiers off the slopes today at Andermatt, but there are plenty other good choices for skiing the Alps.
We're looking for the name of the country that's home to Andermatt, not to mention, Flumserberg, and Leukerbad, Zermatt.
Let's just say this tiny landlocked country has more ski resorts than you can count on two ski gloves. It's estimated that a third of this country's population of over 7-million regularly skis or snowboards.
But there's a downside: Last year, there were more than 70,000 accidents. At Andermatt, one ski patroller says there are collisions on the slopes almost every day. Now insurance companies are looking for answers.
The answer WE'RE looking for is the name of a country. It has four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. So there are 4 different words for what skiers love most --- powder and plenty of it.
The answer is coming up at the end of the segment
