Love to see some new pics from this ECS. Just got back from a week in the snow. By the way, my new Coiler Metal Schtubby X2 was very nice to ride :wink: worth every penny. Thanks Bruce for making this nice one...

Lovely weather and great mood for the 3rd day in a row (we arrived 2 days before the ECS)! Greetings from Hotel Point de Zinal after a long day of carving ;-)

Snow? What snow?

Nils, I feel your pain. I was number 22 in the participant list, but had to cancel due to family reasons.

I'd like to tell the Hungarian guys in Zinal (especially Istvan), that we have a very nice spring in progress here in Budapest. The temperature is 15 degrees, so yesterday I rode my bike :-)

Just arrived from ECS

Again a great event.

Only bright sun. But therefore high temperatures with sspring snow in the afternoon.

But La Corne was great, Barthelemy amazing and La Combe the perfect plan once the other slopes transformed.

But over everything: Great People and a real Fellowship.
And Big organisatioin mastered by Sam.

Sadly I have no pictures.

Hello Nils,
I told you quality time with your family will pay back in the future and I still mean it.
Though have been in Zinal for the first time, I can really understand your feeling.
We had a GREAT time, met fine people, got good lessons from Jacques and were very impressed with the overall event.
Hopefully we will meet next year.
