The tragic death of an English skier is being reported on Piste Hors....
http://pistehors.com/news/ski/comments/0920-couloir-death-in-les-arcs/
The brief report states a 38 year old London woman has died in a couloir on Aiguille Rouge.
I am home for Easter and concerned for friends. Does anyone currently in Les Arcs / Tarentaise know what has happened or have any more information .... ?
Our sympathies with the dead womans family. What an absolute tragedy !

Made some enquires with the local Gendermerie, who have been very helpful and are intending to release a further statement sometime next week.
There are some indications that a Ski Club of Great Britain member may have been involved which will be very sad news if true.

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

sounds like a rare and tragic accident
We were skiing above Arc 2000 on Thursday afternoon and there was a lot of helicopter activity to and fro Aguille Rouge - guess all part of rescue attempt

Let us not all start second guessing again. This has nothing to do with ski club of Great Britain so please just do not go there. This was a personal friend so it means a great deal to me. If anyone directly connected wants any further details. PM me. Otherwise please let her rest in peace. Thanks.

I'm very sorry for your friend. It must have been awful to be involved in such an incident, I can understand why you ended your season after that. Hope it doesn't stop you repping with the club next season. Good luck.

snowcrazy, Words probably won't help, but I would like to offer my sympathies to both you and her family. If it helps I guess she left you when she was doing something she enjoyed doing.

Why unearth a topic that will only compound further misery?

Because it's never too late to express sympathy, except in North Hants, obviously.
