I also witnessed the rescue at les Dues alps 3 years ago when the school kids got killed that was very sobering as that slope had been used a lot that day before that party got caught out and tragically died ,the teacher got a jail sentence I believe as he survived Kenny Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950624979927618620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262241061441269838.post-79012647262967195192018-02-20T19:33:23.137+00:002018-02-20T19:33:23.137+00:00The only reason for the post was that out of somet...The only reason for the post was that out of something negative, something positive could be taken both in decisions and technical relating to ski's and poles. This poor chap was badly shaken and didn't need it rubbed in. I am not totally risk averse and know that off piste skiing is high risk and I have made many mistakes and somehow lived to tell the tale. That day I the risk was too high to contemplate for me.

This time this guy was lucky. Lok at Val D'Isere at the weekend when a father and daughter were lost to an avalanche after going through a 'run closed' sign. Any one caught should be banned from skiing.boarding in the country of the offence and charged with dangering life of themselves and others and taken through the courts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262241061441269838.post-82090679698418229892018-02-19T14:27:16.445+00:002018-02-19T14:27:16.445+00:00Lucky, lucky man.Lucky, lucky man.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145758830050331259noreply@blogger.com
