Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

British snowboarder dies in mountain fall, Val d'Isere

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
A 40-year-old British anaesthetist has been killed after falling 30m from rocks while snowboarding in Val d'Isere. The unnamed man was snowboarding with a friend above Val d’Isere, and went off-piste a few metres from last weekend’s downhill skiing world cup route.
...According to news reports, the man, who was on a conference at the Val d'Isere Congress Centre, took a corridor not used by locals or off-piste guides and fell onto rocks.

It was only a few metres from the telepherique (acute es) de l’Olympique, but it’s a piste that goes nowhere”, said a local witness, who arrived after the accident and saw the victim taken to hospital by helicopter.

Visibility was good and the risk of avalanche medium - on level three.

“This was no avalanche, just an unfortunate fatal wrong turn”, he said.

The accident comes less than a week after British businessman David Monk, 46, was killed after a tobogganing prank went wrong in an Italian ski resort.

Mr Monk, from Ware, Herts, died after he and some friends pulled padding from a ski barrier and used it as a sledge.

They hit the barrier at the bottom of the slope, and Mr Monk died from severe head and chest injuries.

I saw the helicopter pick him up, I was confused as there was nowhere above he could've come from. Guess that explains it.

The helicopter may not have been for him. I understand another group followed his tracks to the top of the cliffe and called in S&R when they realisd they were stuck.

The helicopter was picking up from below a steep outcrop of rocks. It wasn't from above.

It was out in force yesterday, saw people getting taken off in Tignes as well.

rob@rar, ....Jonpim, was out, but at Tignes and I deposited him safe & sound to the train at Bourg St. Maurice, via the Petit St. Bernard Hotel after allowing him some exercise in the Les Arcs powder .... wink

Masque, is right - great care is needed in off-piste route selection and never blindly following tracks in the snow.
