So cool! So Jealous!
Judging from your new and extremely good looking skipants, you're not on a budget, which is good, because Switzerland is expensive! Zermatt is great, you can cross over from there into Cervinio, Italy, which is cheaper and a great skiing distination too. I normally ski there, but only because I can't afford Zermatt 
If you're only there for a couple of days of beginner skiing, I'd suggest sticking to the blue slopes, because the reds in Zermatt could be a little daunting for beginners. Also, if you're not there with somone who knows how to ski and is willing to teach you, join a skischool or get a private tutor - It's worth it! Another tip to get more out of your trip would be to go skiing at a smaller place before you go on your two day holiday. Most people will spend the first day or so on their asses, but once you stop falling down it really takes off and Zermatt is a just beautiful place to ski around.
Will you be near the train that takes you up to the slopes? I've always wanted to ride it, but it's not really a part of the Skipass I normally get 
Last thing. On the first day the weather permits it, we normally cross the border from Italy and ski down into Zermatt. Why do we do this? We say we do it for the views, but mostly we do it to have a large beer and THE Alpen-lunch: rösti mit speck und spiegelei. That also comes with cheese, if you please. Whatever you do, eat this.
Good luck on your skiing, it's the best sport in the world and your view of the Matterhorn (aka Toblerone Mountain!) is glorious.
Edit: Decided I wanted to illustrate my post with some pictures!
Matterhorn from half the Italien side and half the Swiss side:
Daunting views of Zermatt town from a red near the top. I'm afraid of heights, so despite 20 years of skiing, this place always freaks me out a little:
Looks awful, but it's *just* what you need:
Jesus you made me hungry for "Croûte au fromage" in french, which is also a nice cheese dish to eat in the mountains. At least winter is coming so we'll have a great excuse to eat lots of fondue and raclette and croûte au fromage and getting obese.  Glad you guys like Switzerland, it's a great place to visit if you can afford it.

I haven't heard of any of those movies. Netflix sounds like a scam over there.
I just picked a picture randomly. The catalog is missing a lot of stuff currently but I can just use the US one quite easily.

I remember seeing YNAB on sale on steam and I regret not getting it. Argh.
Same... oh well, does it go on sale sometimes?

It's still giving money to the loving oatmeal which is like, only marginally better than giving money to Megatokyo or some poo poo.
What's wrong with the Oatmeal? I find his comics funny and he does not seem to be a jerk.
