Mountainside breaking up near Chippis

Saw this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Hkgkj4y-Y

If I understand correctly the road to Zinal from base goes through Chippis!

ECS2027 by helicopter?

Re: 23rd ExtremeCarving Session, 2026: Feedback

THANK YOU, Swoard Team, for organising yet another fantastic event. This year was auspicious in that I was able to celebrate my wedding anniversary, then still manage to come to ECS2026!

Re: Complaints from snow groomers

I know most employees and directors in my resort, Zinal. One day, the technical director said loud in the restaurant, when seeing me: "Hey, here is the trenches maker!". :lol: I looked at my watch and then I replied to him: "At what time do you plan the second grooming?". And everybody laughed. :lo...

Re: New UPZ foam liners

Hi Patrice, Thank you for this - and great idea about the large sock overlay from Arnaud! I laughed out loud when I saw that, ankle socks for your liner, such a great idea! Although not natural for me to think of that, as I would need to find some size 50 socks, do they even make that? :D I have to ...

Re: New UPZ foam liners

Thanks Patrice, Somewhere I got the impression they were a "new" model, I do remember the conversation at Zinal about foam liners and you saying they were too stiff, and so I thought these were different.

New UPZ foam liners

Hi all,
Has anyone tried these: https://www.upz-boots.at/foamthermo-liner_d

They seem to have flex where needed (flex zone) and can be thermoformed after the foaming process.

regards,
Slayer.

Re: EC set

Just to close this off, I tried 168H and found even that too hard for my level and style. So, I will need to pass, hope a heavier and talented buyer is found! 😁
