A 62-year-old British woman died from traumatic shock after a collision on a black ski slope in Les Arcs, France, while a 35-year-old man sustained a broken leg.
The British woman was skiing on the expert-level black slope of the Aiguille Rouge mountain when she collided with a stationary 35-year-old man, who also held British nationality.
Ski patrollers and emergency teams were unsuccessful in resuscitating the woman. An investigation by local authorities is ongoing to determine the circumstances of the accident.
The incident underscores the dangers associated with black ski slopes, typically meant for expert skiers, as the average annual deaths on French slopes reaches about 10.
