Some reports he was there with his family for his son’s birthday celebration. Terrible news and a cruel reminder for his son in the years to come

That is a strange spot, where Gelinotte goes off to he left. I know that during the old layout of the domain, Choucas used to cross several pistes and that was dangerous, but no such danger at this spot

Buried today. All the lifts were stopped in la Rosiere at 15h58 this afternoon.
I do wonder if the delay in transferring Ulliel to hospital was significant.
