Missing Val d’Isère skiers found dead

The bodies of the remaining five skiers were recovered in Val d’Isère today.  They had been skiing the popular off piste itinerary: the tour du Charvet.  The skiers had been hit by a large avalanche near the exit from a narrow valley.  They were buried to a depth of 6 meters.
