Io! - beh, non proprio Veneto, ma Trentino.
Io avrei intenzione di essere li' il giorno prima (ven. se non erro).
Ritorno? il lun. pomeriggio - impegni di lavoro permettendo.
Saro' pero' non in Zinal vero e proprio ma alla Palud - qualche km prima per cui devo avere la automobile per arrivare fino alla funivia.

Un saluto,
Alessandro - Extreme Carver wannabe

Ciao mitico Alessandro :D, per me partire il venerdì e ritornare al lunedì pomeriggio come vorresti fare te non sarebbe un problema.
Se cortesemente mi fornisci un link dove hai prenotato tu alla Palud, prenoto pure io li :D

Grazie ancora

eh eh ... non è cosa semplice - in quanto il tizio è assolutamente di poche parole. Io poi parlo un francese alla ispettore Clausot - per cui ho chiesto aiuto ad un'amica che il francese lo parla bene.
Ma anche con lei il gestore del bed and breakfast è stato laconicissomo, limitandosi ad un "OK".


Se riesci a parlarci, io CREDO di avere preso la mia stanza dello scorso anno - che di letti mi pare ne avesse due (sono quasi sicuro, nell'altro c'era una bellissima signorina del brasile ... - yeah right ...)
Se è tutto pieno, io sono disposto ad una condivisione della stanza.


Comuque: ecco un link:

in poche parole è l'esperienza più esaltante, divertente e anche didattica che un hardista possa chiedere :wink:
in tre giorni potrai provare la swoard, partecipare a corsi gratuiti , scendere da due piste omologate per l'extreme carving di cui una riservata solo a noi e conoscere centinai di folli hardisti :twisted:

Please Help, non riesco a visualizzare il PDF dell'ECS (mi da errore file danneggiato) ma non capisco se è un problema del mio PC o cos'altro.

Tra tutti i post sugli alberghi sono riuscito a "reperire" solo la Point de Zinal che però sembrebbe pieno, quindi se possibile avere o sapere dove reperire altri riferimenti per gli alloggi.

Please inoltre (ma forse sarà tutto nel PDF) le info per i pacchetti si 3gg blu e rosso (se non erro).

Grazie mille! :D

Ciao a tutti!

Mal che vada se e' possibile e me lo consentono metto i miei step-in k2 con scarponi Nitro Mirage (i piu' duri mai costruiti tra i soft) per provare la swoard. Per Il cambio totale attrezzatura aspetto febbraio.

io lo visualizzo senza problemi, ti faccio un copia e incolla:

What is ECS?
SWOARD snowboards is organizing the 6th edition of its unique Extremecarving Session.
Incredible slopes, friendly atmosphere and demo testing of genuine Swoard extremecarving boards (model
Swoard Extremecarver, generation 3 extended) will be proposed for all Europeans and worldwide snowboarders
desiring to discover this discipline and share good moments. If you don’t know what EC is about, simply want to
discover this fun and very spectacular activity or just want to carve laid turns to the max on steep and perfectly
groomed slopes: come and join us!
Last year, about 200 carvers from 20 countries were part of the meeting.
Activities
TEST of extremecarving gear: the SWOARD boards will be available for the riders during the three days of the
meeting. Participants are required to bring their own gear.
EXTREMECARVING EXIBITION by the Swoard team, creator of the extremecarving technique (whose style is
very recognizable) with the original extremecarving boards that they have developed.
FREECARVING SESSION with informal carving advices given by the Swoard team and 3-4 instructors while
testing and riding.
INFORMAL STOKED SPIRIT: freecarving and extremecarving are just a part of the glide spirit.
MEETING other riders from different cultures and styles of carving in a wonderful panorama.
Zinal is in the "Anniviers" valley, very close to another resort named Grimentz.

Disclaimer:
Swoard snowboards is the inviting party which proposes, but participants are required to organize for themselves
their trip and take care of all expenses (hotel, food, gear, eventual insurances, lift costs...).
Swoard organizes many activities, the dinners and the tests of the products it sells: Swoard Company will not be
held responsible of bad weather, lack of snow, or any accident that would occur during this informal meeting, which
goal is to have people sharing the same passion together. Snowboard riding is a dangerous activity, and shall be
taken seriously will all knowledge of your level. Please note that you will be required to fix the bindings on the
boards yourself for security/liability reasons.
In case of heavy snowfalls that will make it impossible to do any form of carving, participants will be able to
discover the fantastic freeride possibilities of Zinal, at own risks (freeride boards, beacon, shovel and pole
mandatory can be rented, but not for 200 persons!).

A la point de zinal, chiedi se hanno la stanza al terzo piano con letto e lavandino!
Altrimenti senti l'albergo "la post" (Montefuca ha il numero ) oppure chiedi all'azienda turistica.
Se proprio non dovessi trovare nulla, allora fai come AZ , che ha trovato una pensioncina economica qualche km prima di zinal :wink:

Per gli attacchi va bene qualsiasi attacco "piatto" e senza intec: f2 race titanium o phiokka.
Come scarponi fatti dare dei deeluxe suzuka, le mans, o track ... l'importante è che ci sia la possibilità di metterli in walking mode. Se decidi di noleggiare anche una tavola, considerando che avranno solo f2, prendi una Rs :wink:
