Whilst on the annual excuse for a free skiing holiday at the tax payers expense (Ice Queen?)
I witnessed the following display of cool from one of our flying colleagues (Rod Scott)
The ski lifts were full and going at full belt with the surface very bumpy.
About 10 bars up from us a lady fell off and began sliding back down slope bashing her head on everyones ski tips and leaving a trail of blood behind her.
All are watching her and doing nothing.
As she gets down to our level with a fair way to go to the bottom Rod side steps off the bar digs in his skis and hoiks the unfortunate lady off the track to safety. To the cheers of the other lift passengers.
In a perfect world she would have been an heiress who's father owned a distillery, a Ferrari distributorship and was desperate for a highly paid corporate pilot.
I doubt Rod was that lucky.
I wonder if the lady survived as it looked quite nasty at the time.
The blood was visible for several days after the event.
