Yesterday morning, the Ski Patrollers' Association held its annual Ski Patrollers' Memorial at La Daille. For this 39th edition, two competitions took place with the participation of ski patrollers from Bonneval-sur-Arc, Val Cenis, Les Arcs, Les Bellevilles, and La Plagne. The first event was the Giant Slalom, with 55 participants. Activities included a PIDA challenge where ski patrollers had to throw a mock explosive at a target and then achieve the longest throw, moving a ball through a maze using a snow groomer blade, a ski patroller merchandise shop, a refreshment stand, and a barbecue at midday. Despite the freezing weather and wind, it was a beautiful morning that drew a large crowd. The event concluded with an awards ceremony and a private party at a club. The ski patrollers' memorial will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year.
