A 38-year-old British snowboarder was found dead 16 feet down in a crevasse on a glacier at Grand Montet in Chamonix France on Wednesday, March 27, according to a story in the Daily Mail.
It is believed the man had snowboarded over a snow bridge on the Rognon glacier and it had collapsed under his weight. . . A helicopter immediately flew over the scene of the accident at Grand Montets and two rescuers were winched down into the crevasse. . . But the man was already dead.
The man was a local who lived in Passy. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
