Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Fatal accident on a blue run in La Clusaz

Very sad. Blue run but with, fairly obviously, the scope to come off it and fall some distance on to unfriendly terrain if control is lost. Speed, seemingly acknowledged by witnesses. No helmet. An apparently toxic combo. Sad

you forgot to add bad luck, most people seem to forget that... skiing fast without a helmet is fine with no bad luck Sad

geeo, indeed. By the way, I don't at all intend this as a helmet thread (I have no strong views, although I wear one myself) but wouldn't mind it turning into a 'too fast on an in-some-ways-not-that-safe blue run thread'. Or even into an it-doesn't-matter-because-he-was-doing-what-he-loved thread. But whichever way you hack it, it's very sad.

Some reports say the man was racing his son. Racing on an open piste is never a remotely good idea.

Very bad luck.

And tough for the son to see his dad take that kind of fall.

Simply horrendous, particularly if he was actively involved in the incident. I guess racing - if that's what was happening - takes the matter further away from the realms of chance. Or maybe not, I don't really know. Confused

sorry, I think that was my mistake - a linked report about a separate (and exceedingly stupid) incident which fortunately only ended in lots of blood and stitches.
