Events Group photo - Extremecarving Session 2007 Each winter for the past 5 years, SWOARD snowboards is organizing a famous alpine event: the Extremecarving Session (ECS). In terms of the number of participants, the last edition was one of the largest carving gatherings ever held with about 170 participants! We are happy to officially announce the 5th Extremecarving Session (ECS '08). Riders who are interested in testing a SWOARD will be able do so. The Swoard team, with other excellent Swoarders, will be present on the slopes and will be more than happy to explain, inform, coach and discuss any and all aspects of riding with the carvers. We hope to help each tester to quickly gain an understanding of the extremecarving techniques and its exhilarating feelings! > Extremecarving Session 2008 : Feb 23rd to 25th, 2008 > Zinal, Switzerland
Join us in Zinal, Switzerland (region of Valais), to lay down a few
extremecarving turns. This small resort will have a few black slopes that will be groomed, each day, for ECS participants. The ECS V is a gathering organized by SWOARD snowboards that is opened to anyone interested. Demo boards will be made available for anyone who would like to test the SWOARD. The board that is best suited to your size/weight/shoes-size will be provided. Remember to bring your favourite bindings and hard boots as this equipment will not be supplied! Reports of the four preceding editions: see below. We propose two "packages" for all the participants:
- T-shirts and stickers (given on Saturday evening) - filming, screening, gifts and activities during the event, in the main hall and on the snow - coaching and SWOARD testing Detailed info, official registration and hotel accommodation: ECS '08 (PDF document) Remarks: Previous events > Extremecarving Session 2007 : Feb 3rd to 5th, 2007 > Zinal, Switzerland
About 170 participants from 20 countries have come for, again, 3 sunny days! We got excellent snow conditions for carving and extremecarving: probably
the best in the last 4 sessions. A black slope was reserved in the morning for the participants only! Great moments and excellent spirit. Useful links: > Extremecarving Session 2006 : Feb 11th to 13th, 2006 > Zinal, Switzerland
As for the 2 preceding sessions, we got 3 sunny days! But the lack of snow (never seen for 40 years!) pushed us to Grimentz (8 minutes away) where the conditions were much better. Useful links:

The snow has come right in time before the meeting and made us forget a bad winter start! Useful links:
