Two Brits are among three skiers killed in an avalanche in the French Alps, a day after several ski resorts shut down due to the risk of snowslides. Another man, in his early 30s, was the victim of a 'very large avalanche' while skiing in an off-piste area near the village of Montgenevre, said local prosecutor Marion Lozac'hmeur. The deaths came after an avalanche killed two off-piste ski tourers in the French Alps on Saturday, near Saint-Veran, known as the highest village in the French Alps. Last month, a British man was reportedly among six skiers killed in avalanches in the French Alps. The Englishman, believed to be in his 50s, was skiing off-piste at the La Plagne resort in the south-east of France, the resort said in a statement.
