On Saturday evening, we were exactly 117 persons in the main hall for the dinner. Moreover, about 15 riders showed up for 1 or 2 days but could not participate in the dinner. So in total we were about 130-135 participants. This is a good number to preserve the great EC conditions in the resort, to have good safety and to give us the opportunity to talk with most participants.
If you could not join, the other session of the Swoard Demo Tour is the solution. The increasing numbers of participants of these sessions should not make forget that Zinal is the Mecca!
For next year, the date of the 16th ExtremeCarving Session is: from Jan 26th to 28th, 2019. 
The feedback thread with pictures, movies, etc. is there in English, and there in French.
