Summer boarding!
Sounds like fun, let me know when you will be around, I'm already in Zurich.
Couple of comments:
1) The train ride to Engelberg is very nice from Zurich, however I don't
know that the lifts will turn during the week, it may just be a weekend
thing.

2) I would suggest going higher and possibly to a glacier. Two places
recommended to me were Laax and Zermatt.

Again let me know when you will be around.

This is very true but it is only at the very top of the mountain.
From 1000M to 2428M it is normal lifts, after that its Rotating to 3024M.
At least that's how it is during the winter months, don't know about summer.

It is quite impressive. Base is 1000M and the top is 3000M and you can ski
from top to bottom. I say ski since it is not hugely boarder friendly in
terms of terrain. Some areas are great while some others are not.
