Toggenburg for skiing/snowboarding??

Can anyone recommend this area (Unterwasser or Wildhaus) for skiing and snowboarding? How does it rate for beginners and intermediates?
Thanks!

Re: Toggenburg??

Great skiing and great views from the top. I skied there about 3 years ago, it was the first time I had been on snow skis in 16 years! Had a private 2½ hr. lesson from a young instructor who spoke excellent English. Didn't request an instructor in English he just happened to speak it well, he told me most of them needed to know English anyway because of all the ski tourists. After the refresher course I was even able to go to the top to enjoy those views and fantastic intermediate slopes.

Thanks thats helpful. We are snowboarders and have had lessons but still beginners and need somewhere to practice, wide open slopes would be ideal right now!

Anyone else been?

Wildhaus is nice enough but my concern as a boarder is the wretched T-bar lifts are a pain.

Head to Flumserberg. Other side of the Churfirsten, but hey...
