(FILES) Skiers queue for the lift near a sign warning of avalanche risk during the re-opening of the ski resort at Col de la Balme in La Clusaz, French Alps on May 23, 2021 as the country loosened Covid-19 restrictions. Two avalanches killed two skiers in the French Alps on January 11, 2026, resort officials said, following the deaths of three off-piste skiers a day earlier in similar incidents. In one incident, a British skier aged about 50 was buried while skiing off-trail, according to a statement released by La Plagne ski resort in southeastern France.
