An avalanche in the Swiss Alps on Tuesday swept two-time world extreme snowboard champion Estelle Balet to her death, police said.
The 21-year-old Swiss woman, who had won her second title on the Freeride World Tour only two weeks ago, was making a film when she was killed, Swiss police said in a statement.
Balet was speeding down a slope on her snowboard when the avalanche started and carried her away, police added.
