List of skiing deaths

Add article description

This is a list of skiing deaths of notable people, in chronological order, and includes skiers and snowboarders both professional and recreational whose deaths are due to accidents or avalanches.

All cases in the list below are from alpine or downhill skiing activities; no skiers have been known to have died during any cross-country event, or in any major international ski jumping competitions (e.g. FIS Ski Jumping World Cup, FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup, FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, and the Olympic Games), though many ski jumpers have died during practice or in national events (nb:Skader og dødsulykker i skihopping).
