 Poster: A snowHead

As reported in Le Dauphine
Briton swept away by an avalanche is between life and death This Sunday around 9:30 at Val d'Isere, two successive avalanches took away a couple of sixties British who played off piste in the valley of the signal in the area of Fornet. The woman could trigger the air bag safety, a move that saved her. However, the man was covered by a meter of snow. He was found in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest by riot police helicopter and the Alps to Grenoble University Hospital.
Hopefully he will be ok

Very tough , sking with experienced guides and well equipped, but sounds as if dead when discovered. At least one of them survived thanks to the air bags.

Colin B,
The dauphine article to my schoolboy french says he was discovered in a state of cardiorespiratory arrest. It might be wrong of course newspapers often are.

It says he was between life and death, not that he was dead. UK papers are reporting similar. Granted it doesn't look promising.

Colin B, Well lets hope he survives, but the article kind of suggests that he had arrested when discovered and they are trying to resuscitate him.

dreadful news and skiing with a very experienced guide.
It really does make me think that an airbag is a worthy investment.
Thoughts go out to the families involved.

Sadly he died this afternoon. Wayne's blog is a painful read today.
