Hi Atom Ant,
Just saw this post. I live in Thalwil, which is about 10 minutes away ;-) Let me know you want some company this season. I am a fairly recent HB'er, riding Swoard Dual and UPZ RC-10 boots (at the moment). I know a few other carvers, but, it seems to have gone down in popularity since I first came here.
cheers,
Slaybells.
