Overview
- A vehicle was filmed descending a blue run at the Les Houches resort near Chamonix on Sunday, January 11, shortly before 6 p.m.
- A ski tourer named Benjamin recorded the descent after seeing the car first drive up the piste, then posted the footage on social media.
- The resort operator LHSG reported the incident to the Les Houches town hall and the Chamonix gendarmerie, which has opened an investigation.
