Late season ski trip to Wengen/Grindelwald for a total beginner?

Hoping some of the few remaining resident gurus here could give a bit of advice... I'm thinking of whether a late season trip to Wengen or Grindelwald with a total ski novice is a viable idea. Now I know the local ski areas in both locations is closed by then, but as far as I can tell the Kleine Scheidegg area is open to the 22 April, assuming the snow lasts. I've read suggestions that the nusery area at Klein Scheidegg is OK. However although I have skiied in the area a few years ago I have no recollection of whats its like for beginners - and obviously its still not that high for mid-April. Would I be better off discounting this area and either looking for somewhere a bit higher or postponing to next season (though my companion has pretty restrictive holiday options)? I was thinking that at least the area is pretty for a first time skiier (I'm not that bothered by how much skiing there is for me - more concerned I dont put off a somewhat hesitant beginner with an unpleasant experience). Thanks Rod The Trockener Steg/ Theodulus pass area at Zermatt may well be open late as it is mostly a glacier. -- Michael Chare |
