Leandro Pession did not make it, rescue worker on the slopes for Cervino SpA, overwhelmed a couple of days ago by an avalanche in Valtournenche, to be precise near the Grand Sommettaz ski lift, at over 3000 meters above sea level.
The 58-year-old died yesterday, as ANSA reports: Pession was carrying out the usual checks on the track and remained several minutes under the snow. The mountain rescue officers and 118 intervened on the spot, but conditions were already desperate once we arrived at the Umberto Parini hospital in Aosta by helicopter.

Frabosa Soprana
Frabosa Soprana è la località più storica del Mondolè Ski e si sviluppa sulle pendici del Monte Moro, nel cuore delle Alpi Liguri. A differenza delle vicine stazioni nate espressamente per lo sci, Frabosa è un vero paese di montagna, posto a circa 900 metri di quota e circondato da boschi, borgate e panorami aperti sulle valli monregalesi.
