Damn , I remember reading the CR thread a while back when I wasn't as invested in skiing and I couldn't imagine what it would feel like to learn it as breaking news.

Clicked to NSG and saw part of the stickied thread title as my page loaded and instantly jumped back to make sure I read it wrong. I did not.

The Swedish Mountain Guide Association confirms that a Swedish national is reported missing in the area, supposedly it is Andreas Fransson. Daniel Rönnbäck and Bjarne Salen were filming and shooting it, and they are reported to have escaped unharmed. Since JP is the 4th member of the group, it is not looking good.

The area is extremely remote, and the accident is reported to have been reported over satellite phone.

Lets hope that this all turns out well, vibes and thoughts go out to them from Austria.

[tinglskier]

[White_raven]

A friend is one of the crew. he made an fb update about being off to a remote place for 15 days last week so i guess something might have happened. As tradition bad news are always truth when it comes to death in skiing.

Rip both. So unexpected

I'm really hoping this is not true and that JP and Andreas are okay.
