Does anyone know a brand of goggles that would fit a "larger" nose ?
I have tried a few pairs and they just feel like my nose is in a vice. G |

Hoop,
You've said they should have had 6 hours on a dry slope. I presume they can snowplough at the end of that. To help you in your predicament ... if you can get them to a parallel turn in the first day or two they can then progress at their own rate. The first day you can maybe just get them used to speed and their ability to control that speed and stopping. Go from one side of the piste to the other, stopping every time. Like any beginner they will have to get used to controlling their speed. Once the penny falls with parallel turning then they can maybe keep each other company in smaller groups, suited to their own abilities. G |

Great story, Pavel.

Trains from Wengen up to Kleine Scheidegg run every 10 mins. We took the gondola most days though.
And I would find it difficult to have great views of a mountain once you are on it .. Still think the scenery there is fantastic. G |

See if I can get these pictures to work.
From the "top" of the ski area - Murren, with the Eiger in the background. 
And taken from the Schilthorn ( the rotating restaurant used in On Her Majestys Secret Service ) The Eiger on the left. 
Quite stunning. Giles |

I would say Wengen/Grindelwald. Nothing like skiing at the bottom of the north face of the Eiger.
