The accident occurred early in the afternoon in the Corbier resort, in the Sybelles ski area in Maurienne (Savoie). The 29-year-old skier died after violently leaving the slopes.

The Corbier rescue trackers intervened immediately. They found the victim near a blue trail. A doctor was airlifted to the scene. An investigation is open to determine the circumstances of the death. In mid-January, in the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc area, a skier who was progressing in an off-piste area was killed by an avalanche.
