ok, so it would be worth it to hanging around waiting to bribe a particular guy on one run then?

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

Wolves attacked a flock of sheep here in the Tarentaise this summer - 20 odd sheep with throats ripped out up in the Mercuel valley.
That's where you ride down after doing the Fogliettaz. Just sayin'.

Lets be fair, the three people in the film would struggle to dress themselves in real life if they existed.
The cold - they have their coats hanging open and hats and gloves off.
Wolves - the grey isn't real
etc.

My father was an officer in the Polish cavalry.
In the winter of 1937 he sent a patrol (routine) out along the Russian border, deep snow and dense forest.
They never returned.
There was quite a big stink about it...had they had an incident with their opposite numbers from Russia, had they strayed over the border and been taken or shot?
The following spring the "remains" were found.
All the ammunition had been fired, Everything except the metal parts of their guns, uniforms and bridles/saddles was gone. The entire bodies of the troopers and their horses, even the wooden stocks on their rifles (which would have been heavily oiled) had been eaten by wolves.
They summised that they patrol had been attacked by wolves over a prolonged period, used up the ammo and had been killed. In deep snow, evn on horses, they could not have outrun the wolves.

No, yet another massive failing in the substandard ski helmet testing is that it doesn't even test for resistance to wolf bites.
Therefore I can safely surmise that a ski helmet would offer no protection whatsoever, and if you wear a ski helmet you will be eaten by wolves.
Another reason not to wear a helmet?

How come the wolves were so hungry on a Monday? With the hundreds of skiers that were there at the weekend, slow beginners and children especially, you would've thought that they'd have stocked up

Not too many resort that closes during the week either. And at many of THOSE (typically small local mountain) a lift ticket can indeed be had for that amount (or at least the afternoon half day ticket anyway)

I saw a wolf while skiing at Dizin in Iran (a little bit outside the designated ski area)
It was quite close but ran away/hid as we skiied near it.
