Snow Blind

A teenage girl watches in horror as her mother collapses and dies in a ski slope chair lift. Jade Ramsden and her mother, Cheryl Fairbrother, are going up Monetier’s L’Yret at Serre Chevalier, when Cheryl suddenly becomes ill.

Emergency services try to resuscitate the stricken skier but to no avail and she dies before reaching hospital. Cheryl was visiting her daughter Jade working in the French ski resort of Serre Chevalier when the tragedy occurs.
