An British skier has been reported missing after taking an off-piste route in the Aiguilles Rouge sector of the Mont Blanc ski area according to the Mountain Police (PGHM) in Chamonix.
"Chris Kedy-Cady, aged 24 and a resident of Boston, USA, has not been seen since Sunday night after going off-piste on the summit of the Brévent. A ground based search and a short helicopter flight during a break in the winter weather confirmed the presence of many avalanches in the area. The search will begin again on Tuesday weather permitting. The man was skiing with a friend, they separated at the summit (2526 meters) after the friend’s female partner declined to take an off-piste itinerary. The alert was giving on Sunday evening when the man failed to return to his hotel."
Can imagine all sorts of nasty repercussions from that. Messy situation. Condolences to the family.

The bad weather has prevented the search for the missing British skier from restarting this morning. Stéphane Bozon, commander of the Chamonix Mountain Police was pessimistic about the chances of finding the man alive "it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack”, he commented.
No new on that one here in town, but if he went of the back of the Brevent, there are lots of tours back these, but no lifts and if you keep heading down you end up in Servoz...you are just plain the wrong side of the mountain :(
It is raining to 2000+ meters today, there is standing water everywhere, we are having a deluge acording to the metio...fiding anyone in this weather would be a needle in the whole hayfield, nit just the stack :(
