 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just had this from my friend in St Foy :
'St foy is closed. Massive avalanche in marquises run. From the top taken out main run, crossed the off piste and back over the main run. 1 girl rescued and maybe 7 others buried. About 100 people helping to search with probes..
TV crews here..'

Avi risk was 4/5. That section is a high risk area anyway, but having a big dump after a prolonged period of hard pack is not good.

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

News on the Tignes groups via someone who used to live in Ste F and has contacts, is that all the folks buried have been evacuated but the state of injuries is unknown.

To confirm four caught on the piste and rescued I understand unharmed . The avalanche started in an area on the ridge above by “the cross” well known entry point . The area is covered by dynamite lines .

@Le Grand Renard, yes, it's steep up there, I remember seeing someone launch off there in dramatic fashion. It was a memorable day off the Foglietta for us.

Everyone is ok. Big effort by pisteurs, locals and pisteurs + dogs from neighbouring resorts to get a big search team together quickly to make sure.

Not The Cross btw. Couloir Frank / Entonnoir. It’s the next line over.

Blimey. Skied that a lot last year. Glad the reports are that no one was seriously injured.
