Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

Mollerski, terrible news indeed. I hate reading links from the Mail, the nasty spiteful comments at the bottom beggar belief.

I never read the comments.

The Mail Online are very 'on it' with breaking news.

I can ignore any editorial bias or tittle tattle.

Very sad indeed. The family sound as though they're being brave; very positive remarks about the local rescue and hospital services and seeing the whole thing as just a tragic accident (which it obviously is) rather than "somebody's fault".

Why does that spiteful rag feel the need to go a bit "Judith Chalmers" on the resort info, nothing like a bit of sensationalism.

Hope Mimi pulls through, I can't quite see it though unfortunately.

OK, the Mail is rubbish, but this is irrelevant. Can we drop the paper snobbery and consider the tragic message?

I don't think the Mail is as bad as sometimes (remember that one where they thought it relevant to tell us how much the house belonging to the bereaved parents was worth?). A bit of "background" for readers who know nothing of skiing, or Chamonix, isn't entirely daft.

She sounds like a wonderful girl, with a great family. Sad

Very sad indeed, but given the background, much better than waiting weeks and weeks in the forlorn hope of a miracle. Must be horrendous for them, thinking of how she died, with nobody nearby to help. Sad

Poor kid, Sad def. sounds like a tragic accident and something that would have not been been practical to foresee or prevent. Thoughts are with her family.

Jeez, a bit sobering for all of us. Think how we've laughed at friends who have fallen into snowdrifts. Only last week I fell into a hole tree skiing, and although I was OK and with a guide, it doesn't take much to imagine a worse outcome. On Tuesday I fell really heavily on a piste edge onto ice lumps to the extent I felt faint afterwards, no skiing since and still having problems with stairs, and again it could have been worse.

A lesson and warning to all of us, poor girl.

I heard a snowboarder died in Chamonix this weekend. So that must be her. How terrible!

Just heard on the news that a guy who I skied past getting heli'ed off the mountain (Nordkette) the other day had a similar accident - tree well, unconscious by the time he was pulled out. He's ok now, thankfully.

Pretty sobering, I hadn't really thought of the possibility on that particular terrain, not even proper trees (let alone tightly-set), just a couple of bushes...

It's all very well people on the papers commenting we should know the dangers of off-piste - this was at the side of the piste - how many of us have gone for a hop over a small jump at the side of the piste etc? I know I have...

So so sorry for her. So tragic Sad at least she died doing what she loved I guess. Sounded like a great girl Sad Sad
