Nightmare scenario turns out alright for amazingly calm snowboarder after falling into a 50ft crevasse in Chamonix…
“I was snowboarding off-piste on Glacier des Rognons in the Grands Montets resort in Chamonix and I fell into a deep crevasse. I sustained very minor injuries during the fall and landed on a snow bridge. I was skiing with a guide who found me within about 20 minutes and initiated a crevasse rescue with the Monte-Blanc ski patrol. I was out of the crevasse about 45 minutes after falling in. I was very lucky.”
