French heli skiing guide Nicolas Gaide recently passed away after a tragic accident on Mont Miravidi. SnowBrains photo.
French ski instructor, backcountry extraordinaire, and heli skiing guide Nicolas Gaide, 43, sadly passed away after a horrendous accident while attempting to ski Mont Miravidi on the Italian-French border. The father-of-one had been a guide in the Alps for over 25 years when he passed away.
Gaide and other instructors, guides, and mountain professionals were attending a safety training atop the 3,000m (9,842 ft) peak when the incident occurred. Gaide quickly realized that a bag was missing and rushed back to the helicopter which unknowingly took off with the instructor caught in the cargo netting. Unable to make contact with the pilot or hold on to the netting, Gaide tragically fell hundreds of feet to his death on the French side of the mountain where his body was later recovered. He was well-known for his geniality on and off the mountain, consistent smile, and positive attitude.
Our condolences go out to the friends and family of Nicolas Gaide, another avid mountain professional gone too soon. We hope you all stay safe out there.

It seems like all that quarantine stay-at-home training got a select crew of Chamoniards into the best shape of their lives. With normal ski season long gone, the likes of Leo Slemett, Pica Herry, Vivian Bruchez, and countless other local guides and athletes are still getting after it in the Mont Blanc massif. That means massive slogs from the valley floor into zones like the famous Argentiere Basin, Tof Henry taking up the art of speedflying, or finding new first descents on Mont Blanc

Most years, the skiing at Arapahoe Basin, Colorado just starts to get really fun in the end of May. With other ski resorts closed and snow line creeping ever higher in the backcountry, the party really gets started at A Bay, with slushy spring laps and post-ski tailgate parties at the Beach. Well, if you thought you were going to have to miss out on the fun this year, you’re in luck. Arapahoe Basin announced they will re-open (with some strict rules in place) tomorrow, May 27.
