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 :-)

Three ski tourers killed in avalanche in the Alps
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Three men were sadly killed at the weekend while ski touring near Grenoble, when they were buried under an avalanche. The avalanche occurred in the Col des Ayes sector of the Chartreuse. The men had all the right safety equipement and two had airbags. All were experienced off-pistes skiers and had recently been on an off-piste safety course.

I mentioned the incident in passing as I was at the Col du Coq when the rescue services arrived but I didn't create any special thread,

One of the victims, Alain Zorelle, was the owner of the Brasserie Z in Chambery:

very well known locally. Just when you have it made, adoring wife, kids, events take away everything you've got and everything you're ever going to have.

Report mentions two had airbags but it is unclear if these were deployed. Anyone find any info on this?
