------------------------------------------------------
A family spirit and an excellent atmosphere reigned over this nice Session!
The bad weather on Sunday doubtless contributed to it because we moved the stand partially inside a warm room of the restaurant with direct access to the snow. Saturday was a beautiful extremecarving day, with the sun but however a snow which was a bit too soft. On Monday, in the sun too, many participants devoted to freeriding with 30 cm of fresh snow fallen at night! 
We saw many new faces, as numerous repeat participants and friends.
This Session was marked by the announcement of the results of the Swoard Film Contest. The list of winners is in this topic. The movies are also available on the YouTube channel here.

The dates of the Swoard ECS 2015 are confirmed: from Jan 31st to Feb 2nd, 2015 ! Since there is a new cable linking Grimentz and Zinal, it is also possible to get a room in Grimentz and access the slopes quickly. Zinal resort, with only 300 beds in the hotels, was becoming too small.
See you soon for new emotions!
