After some of the things we got up to in Val D'Isere and Tignes, this news story kind of brings it back home what the risks are. Further coverage says it was close to the Col du Palet, one of the areas we were playing in last week.

This makes you realise that even when messing around between pistes it's probably worth carrying avalanche transceivers and rescue kit. Be careful out there.

My thoughts go out to the friends and family of those killed.
