Sad news. RIP
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10884317/british-skier-died-alps/
Just before Christmas in St Anton a young British lad skied past me then caught an edge and flew into a wooden fence. Had to dial 140 and get a helicopter rescue for him. Looked like a broken arm, collarbone or shoulder. He was a in a lot of pain. It could have been a lot worse though if he had broken his neck.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sorry for that, don’t like posting links to the Sun but it was the only link I could find in English at the time.

@Claude B, I see that is the 2nd fatal accident involving barriers in Isere. I am trying to think of seeing a barrier by Fee that would cause that. IIRC, there is only netting. Any thoughts on that? The Fee red has a couple of spots which make it one of the harder reds in normal conditions - when icy I agree that it can be dodgy. Even so, the skier was very unlucky. Thoughts with those close to them.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@achilles, there is a barrier to the right hand side around the middle of the run. I'll take a look tomorrow.

You know it makes sense.

That is L2A piste grading all over and why some of us love it and others hate it.

A sad accident, would it be possible for someone to amend the thread title as the lad wasn't killed, he died (sorry not usually that pedantic but the two are very different)

Skied down there today. There are two Fée red pistes with wooden barriers down one side. The one leading to the restaurant now has padding at the end so I suspect it was there. He was staying at UCPA. A mate works there and he's British but fluent french speaking and was dealing with the police.

Hmm... maybe not helping themselves in a wrongful death type lawsuit if they've put the padding on after the event

@Dave of the Marmottes, Not certain tbh, I've not really taken that much notice before.

Tragic, I hope the family can take some comfort at some point from knowing he was doing something he loved.
