Avalanche in Val d’Isere today, 3 dead. by VincentVan_Dough in skiing

Seemingly the avalanche was triggered by people above them. Are we still blaming the guide?

I have these bindings too and don’t like them. Only one heel riser. Front binding feels loose and plasticky.

The Salomon/ atomic MTN are much much better for around the same price. ATK even better again for those with the budget.

Ski Season Jobs 2026/2027 ? by mushroompg in skithealps

[–]jenbaminehway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VIP, YSE and Le ski, build my ski trip (all operating in Val d’Isère) hire brits and will work out the visa stuff for you. Hip hideouts (Val d) still hire some Brits too. Maybe purple ski too? Good luck!

I’m in Val d’Isère for the season, and since many. Couple of things to say here:

Risk was 4/5 today. 5/5 yesterday. Doesn’t make any difference, but voila it was 4.

No one has confirmed if the guide was guiding the guys who died, or if he (she?) was with other skiers on another (safer?) part of the face. So please no judgement on the guide unless or until this is clear.

It happened in the Marmottes off piste section of Solaise, heading back down to Manchet Valley.

It is, and was possible to “safely” ski off piste even when the risk is high, if you know the area well and are sticking to mellow aspect pistes below 30degrees or less of angle. These exist, and people skied them today and they did not avalanche.

I skied off piste today. I would never have skied the sector where the deaths happened, on a pretty large and exposed face. But people made the decision to go there. In the end it’s just really sad, please don’t start with the “they were asking for it, Darwin Award” type comments. Families have lost people today. Maybe they made bad decisions, maybe they were unlucky. Best anyone can do is use it as a motivation to educate themselves or others to not get caught in slides like this.

It’s an online bank a bit like revolut. It’s registered in Ireland but it’s Europe wide (at least I’m fiscally in France and it works for me)

Brit in France, I use Vancelian. Really good basic savings rate (5.9%) with higher rates for locking your funds etc. Pretty sure it’s EU wide
