That’s sad. However, it’s very hard to figure out from the article what happened.

I’m guessing he did not fall 5,000 ft, but rather bounced and tumbled 5,000 ft.

I’ve been skiing in that area and stayed in Chamonix (Aspen Village will remnind you of the village of Chamonix). And with the opening of the Mont Blanc tunnel it is easily accessible from Geneva, Switzerland (about an hours drive).
