As far as I know nobody skis up there in winter, but lots of Japanese tourists (not to mention a few English tourists) take the railway up there.
There's a little summer skiing area up on the glacier at the Jungfraujoch.

Inga, that's the Junfraujoch, there's no skiing up there worth talking about. I'll post a link to some photos later to show you where it is. The train up to it goes through the Eiger, and is a spectacular trip, so I'm told. When I was there at the start of January, I was more interested in skiing

I can vouch for the quality of the trip. Well worth the ride. The train stops at a station (Eiger Nordwand, I seem to recall) clevely located with a window that looks straight out of the Eiger's north face. Then you continue up to the Jungfraujoch, which the Swiss proudly claim as the highest railway station in Europe.

I've been up there several times in the summer....and you can ski then...but in the winter you can't. If you fancy a day off skiing, then it's a great trip up there - just make sure that visibility is good. You can go walking on the glacier, and they have a great ice palace (just don't wear ski boots!!).
