Hello!
The ExtremeCarving Session (ECS) is approaching!
From Saturday 23 to Monday 25 January 2021 !COVID-19 > IMPORTANT
Because of the pandemic, we can't make a real event. It will be a true "session" along to the definition given by the surfers: riding the waves together... well... carving the snow together!
Thus there is no dinner, no party, no stand, no photo group. It's forbidden.
Please respect the rules given by the Swiss government from Jan 18, 2021.
No group bigger than 5 persons, indoor and outdoor.
Keep your distance (1.5 m) and wear a mask at the lifts/gondolas.
If you enter Switzerland, check here if there is a quarantine requirement. France, almost all Germany and Italy, are not on the list. But check also the situation for your return in your country (curfew, quarantine).

The preceding years, this event, organized and sponsored by Swoard, has become much more than simple test days of the brand, because we also propose our ride technique which we tirelessly explain and teach by giving our setups, tips, secrets, etc. This is probably unique among all brands. We are passionate riders above all.
Even if the pandemic makes the session as simple as possible this year, the riders progress by watching the others on the same slope! This is the spirit of a "session".
There is room for both hardboots and softboots riders of course. We are one family!
Step 1: find an accommodation as soon as possible
If you have not booked your hotel in Zinal or Grimentz yet (the resorts are connected by a gondola), don't wait anymore! The villages are small. Click here.IMPORTANT: the restaurants are closed because of the pandemic, but not in the hotels for the guests who have rooms. Thus ask half board when booking.
On the slopes, you can get food at the "Take Away" of Sorebois.Step 2: choose your package
Each extremecarver can benefit from a better price on the skipass by purchasing online a blue package or a red package, but BEFORE the event. In Zinal it will be too late: the skipasses are sold at normal price only.> BLUE PACKAGE: 138 CHF (Swiss Francs)
