Well this is a first. Plane hits skier. I thought at first it was Corcheval but appears to be some other resort.

Well at least the pilot 'was a professional who is used to these kinds of conditions'.

Another "plane" and simple example of why we need to be able to edit the title of a thread.

Troof. I've run into that myself. You can edit the title and that shows up once someone clicks on the thread but what you see in the forum list doesn't seem to change AFAICT.

Clothes were too plain. Should have worn brighter colors..

But seriously, I'd like to see some pictures. Hard to tell exactly what happened here.

As I understand from other sites the d’Avoriaz landing strip is sloping 245 meters long @ 5700 ft. At the end of it is the ski run.

Oyyy, a pro pilot in France... He's in trouble, you think it's bad here with civil litigation if you have an accident, consider there the criminal prosecutors look at these real hard.
