Main award goes naturally to Jacques, Nils and Patrice for organizing this event!

Best board design award: ??!

Award for selected theme.

Best visual effect award: ??!

Believe or not, this image is not processed otherwise than cropped, scaled and sharpened. I guess that it's just inner reflection between camera and sensor :D

Best visual side effects award: Antti!

Best fakie carve award: unknown rider!

And I have feeling that this riders prefers to remain anonymous :D

Best future development award: Sorro!

Extremecarving without hands touching snow!

Best toeside body slide award: sanka 06!

Da longest toeside slide I have ever seen!

Best spectator award: ??!

Best rider award:

This was toughest to decide, as there was many good riders, all with good technique and personal style.Thus it was decided, that this will be presented to ALL PARTICIPANTS!

Worst rider award: Anon Ymous!

Best mood award: Alex!

This man must have best time of his life, as he was smiling in each and every image!

Nicest carvers award: to all female riders!

Unfortunately seems like I missed best part of action with my camera, as I got only few pictures:

Lifetime achievement award: Gentlemen team from Norway!

Harald, Tore and Hans, and ripping and ripping and ripping!

Most effective rider: Pokkis!

As unbelievable as it may seem, flegmatic carving is even more flegmatic. Riding by not riding, really Zen :D

Best stunt: Swiss meteo!

Once again they did the trick and sun was shining during whole ECS! For the record: next day after ECS (Tuesday, February 6th) was cloudy and visibility was next to nil due to flat light!

Special food award: Whitey!

Proud chef and his pizza-special: "Full Carbon Rim" (photo by Immo).



Small print: this page is totally unofficial and reflects my view through viewfinder, thus its content is as slanted as board during carving and as narrow as DX camera's viewfinder is through telelens! :D
