Let's say I was to get the 06:59 train to Kleine Scheidegg. Will there be enough light to ski back (end of March)? Are the pistes open at that time or fenced off until a certain time? I would've though these trains are more for the pisteurs and lifties rather than us skiers ? It won't be a regular occurance, more than likely just do it the once for the hell of it but ever so curious to know if this is possible:
Up on the 06:59, back in time for the 07:59 for another blast, then back in time for breakfast !

masmith, don't stop at KS....get the train up to Eigergletcher.....you get a longer ski back then! Just make sure you ski back via KS not Wixi, otherwise it may be a long wait for the chair to start.

Elizabeth B, so it's possible then? Wow! Think I'll check out the route before hand - thans for the info.

There's no snow in the village, but you can still ski all the way back to the Hirschen (5 mins from the cable car) no problem at all. However, watch this space cos tomorow could be a completely different story - mega-snowfall predicted. Skied down to 1000 metres on the 'other side' today - no worries

Dammit... what can possibly be worse than leaving a ski resort with several inches of fresh powdery snow lying around...? It's absolutely thraipsing it down with snow. Still... we had a pretty good week of snow all things considered... could have done with better visibility at times! Nice area though.

Mad snow will come to Wengen just after Ronald leaves town after he has been there for 6+ weeks.

Well, 96 people out, and 96 back, one suspected broken thumb and a strained back.
Wengen 22nd - 29th March, best snow conditions ever, woke up on the 25th with 8 inches of snow in Lauterbrunnen.
Reason for the post, has anyone ever stayed at the Falken Hotel in Wengen? What was it like?

escmatters, my dear old Mum stayed there first in 1954, even then it was regarded as "quaint" However everyone I've spoken to who has stayed there has said pretty much the same thing, despite it being very old fashioned and somewhat out of date it's a nice place to stay

How accurate do you reckon that speed gun is on the bottom section of black 45 ?
The first time I did it was from a standing start, set off into a tuck, no great push, and got a respectable speed but not as fast as I had hoped for. So the second time I skied onto the course, gave a good push and pole, got into a better tuck, but was slower ! doh! then ran out of time and had to come home.
The second run definitely 'felt' faster. The only thing I can put it down to was softer/slower snow as the two attempts were about 2 hours apart and it was a sunny day.

Lauterbrunnen with snow (hopefully as I have never posted an image before)
These were taken in 2004, I have not had chance to load up 2008 yet.

escmatters, maybe you could resize your pics before posting (makes it a damn sight easier to view, noto to mention the speed etc. ? You can download a good free tool to do this, try PixResizer
