Guys and girls,
I need some help. I am trying to establish which carving sessions take place around the world and when. Please add to the list.

SES Aspen - February
WCS Aspen - February
WCS Davos - March
Carving Masters Solden - May

This is part of a project that I will post in the next few days.

Thanks for the input

ECES - East Coast Expression Session, every other year on the even years in early March. Established 2001.

At the moment this is a one day only event occurring on the last Friday in January. This year was the fifth year and we had a crowd of 36 local riders. The event has grown by about 5 riders each year and we have visitors from across the province of Ontario but mostly riders living within 200 km.

The event is held at the Osler Bluff Ski Club (which you can see more information on here (http://http://www.oslerbluff.com/site/index.cfm). The club is a private ski club and the traffic is strictly members and guests so the crowds are very nominal, the terrain is perfect, the grooming is exceptional, and the snow is as good as it gets in these parts.

There are no special events to the day other than a great apres sponsored by our friends at YYZ Canuck. The objective is just to get together, ride, share the knowledge, and feel the vibe.

The Loveland Carve Session (LCS) happened in early March this year. Not a big one (50+) but great cooking by Big Mario and lots of fun.

After a test run this winter... we'll make the get together in Quebec an annual event going forward.
So... SQS (Southern Quebec Session) will likely be in February 2010 rather than March.

[alexgforce]

Basically I am interested in all the events that happened or will happen during 2009.

So this is what we have so far:

SES Aspen - February
WCS Aspen - February
WCS Davos - March
Carving Masters Solden - May
Loveland Carving Session - March
OES Oregon - March
SOS Canada - January
ECES ??? - March
Oppdal Carving Camp, Finland - March
ECS, Zinal - February
SQS, Canada - February
GCS, Greece - February

Let me know if I am missing something.

surprised there isn't a westcoast canadian event - esp. during the olympic year. our numbers too meagre?

I think SNES will be a more formal and organized event this coming year. Please add it for March '10.

ECES is in New England, USA. Specific resort varies.

All it takes is for someone to step up and organize a little get together... size doesn't matter.
