Hosted by Wat.tv, this is a TF1 news report with amateur video of the moment a large avalanche wrecked a chairlift carrying 70 skiers in St Francois Longchamp. No injuries, everyone rescued safely.

Observe how folks are skiing up to the slide for a closer look :shock:

You'd not be able to post updates on J2ski :shock:

Snowcrazy, that's terrible news :( I do hope you will be okay for the last bit of the season. I would be having 'words' with the ski tech that fixed your binding :evil:

Maybe it's time to retire that binding? Worn out?

I have come to the conclusion that off piste is the safest place to be, but probably for different reasons to you. I don't like crowded pistes, bumps or hardpack!

Did you strain the ligaments in your neck and shoulder?

Sending positive thoughts your way :D

You shave on ski hols? I tend to have this desire to turn into mountain man and grow a beard.

Anyone else have this desire when in the hills?

NO :shock:

Your Travel Agent does not seem to be too helpful :shock:

Enjoy yourselves and try and stay out of trouble :D

Yes, I dug a pit and assessed the layers with a credit card!

What an appropriate tool for indoor snow given the £ per hour )

Well done on getting fit :thumbup:

How many days skiing does that allow you?
