French teen, British man die skiing off-course in French Alps

Feb. 25 (UPI) -- A French teen and a British man died in separate incidents after getting lost while skiing in the French Alps Saturday. Both the 13-year-old boy and the man died after falling several hundred feet from cliffs in the mountain range when they traveled outside of the marked slopes. The French boy went up a ski lift with his father, 10-year-old brother and 6-year-old sister near the ski resort of Avoriaz Saturday afternoon. Later the father allowed the two boys to return on their own as he took their sister down a slope. The teen and his 10-year-old brother removed their skis and entered a forest after straying off course for an unknown reason. They later fell off a 500-foot cliff.
