Moderators: fivat, rilliet, Arnaud, nils
Hi
Hi Nils, Hi Max, Hi Sito, Hi Pokkis,
Hello all the others I was allowed to meet (again). It again was one of the absolute highlights of the year to be with you in Zinal!!! I still cannot really believe, how great this four days were. My sister and me returned yesterday in the evening between 10 and 11 pm. No remarcable troubles with the customs and a huge smile on the suntainted face .
THANKS A LOT in first place to Nils, Jacques and Patrice for organizing this non-profit event in the most beautyful extremecerving resort. The weather I'll take as my job done, but the cooperation with the resort guys, the great movies and the runs with the masters provided by you again were worth every kilometer, every our and every euro we spent!!!
And thanks for the outstanding fun I had with all the nice guys on the slopes of Zinal. This is, what you can't get anywhere else and what is the spirit of the ECS.
Deeply impressed
Tom

you were seriously destroying the slopes, i love the huge sprays of snow . and im so sad i missed it. so i cant wait to see all the pics and hopefully a good amount of motionpictures .
what are the red flags beside the slope? did you burry the skiers that fell into your trenches

Aha, now (after looking Jokke's pics) I know why I couldn't ride on Swoard these steeps: those Finns gave Virus to Swoard and then Swoard got Madd
And here are my pics
These pictures are only resized to 1/3rd of original and heavily packed to keep size down (my ISP provides only 20MB of space), no other processing done. Hopefully I have time in near future and can crop and post-process them properly (and send them to Nils).
Interesting though, that I happened to photograph same riders all the time, were they following me in hope to get on picture?

Really nice pictures, you are a true artist
And it`s odd that mr skywalker seems to be everywhere, has he made a clone from himself but I must admit that he is very photographic

Artist?? Artists were on other side of lenses, performing those nice carves on slopes! I was just a button pusher and hoped that my camera doesn't let me down.Jokke wrote:Really nice pictures, you are a true artist
Oh, sorry, forgot this:
Thanks to organizers, thanks to weather forecast, thanks to all participants! Had best 3 days of my life!
