As I said to my Heli Crew in 2009:
I always wanted to ge Heli Skiing, but I thought I'd be in the Heli and hen go skiing, not the other way around.
I hope you had good insurance!
All the best with the recovery, I was skiing (with painkillers) the next season....hope you are too.

Always hits home that a fairly inocuous fall can leave you pretty badly damaged. ACL?

Good video - much more interesting than the usual "face shot" job. Hope it soon gets better. Was interested to see your mate cruise past you as you lay in a heap on the floor.

As he was skiing outside of resort boundaries I thought the rule in France was that the helicopter ride is free, however the medial treatment obviously wouldn't be.
Exciting stuff in unfortunate circumstances.

Christopher, most of the medical treatment will be covered by EHIC card, rest by holiday insurance. Yes, the heli would have been free in this case. Just got statement from CPAM for JulesB;s accident two years ago. Cost (none paid by us personally) of just over 10,000€
Weathercam, impressive video. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

I guess so. I was going up a drag on a nursery slope today and noticed a little heap in the middle of the slope. The instructor was further down, with the others, shouting encouragement. As he is someone I know quite well, who has just been super-helpful to a very nervous beginner friend of mine, I decided to jump off the lift and pick her up to save him hiking back up. She showed no sign of distress - rather a failure of will, I think. Even when on her feet she showed little sign of moving - I took her hand just to get her started and went down behind her. Perfectly competent little snow-plougher. Just a bit of a wuss. Mind you, she was only about 4.
I suppose big tumbles in powder are not uncommon and if everyone stopped every time someone stacked it they'd never get anywhere.
