"The last time the Summer Olympics were in Paris in 1924, women made up 5% of the athletes. 100 years later women will make up 50% of athletes for the first time ever!

The 2024 Paris Olympic Games will be the first Games to reach full gender parity. Out of the 10,500 athletes participating in the Games, 5,250 will be men and 5,250 women." -- via The female athlete project

🇬🇧 Yesterday, on the second anniversary of the tragic incident that inspired our Piste X Code campaign, we took a moment to think about our impact over the last two years - has the Piste X Code made a difference? Are you all safer on the slopes? We truly hope so, but it’s impossible for us to know.

We recently met the family of the little girl who lost her life in Flaine that morning. The conversations we shared with her parents have affected us both deeply and we’re more determined than ever to share the Piste X Code message. They’re in our thoughts right now.

Wherever you ski or snowboard, please follow the rules of the piste; the consequences of not doing so can be truly tragic. Thanks to everyone supporting our campaign right now. Amie & Louise x

🇫🇷 Hier, à l’occasion du deuxième anniversaire de l’incident tragique qui a inspiré notre campagne Piste X Code, nous avons pris un moment pour réfléchir à notre impact au cours des deux dernières années : le Piste X Code a-t-il fait une différence ? Êtes-vous tous plus en sécurité sur les pistes ? Nous l’espérons sincèrement, mais il nous est impossible de le savoir.

Nous avons récemment rencontré la famille de la petite fille qui a perdu la vie à Flaine ce matin-là. Les conversations que nous avons partagées avec ses parents nous ont profondément touchés et nous sommes plus que jamais déterminés à partager le message de Piste X Code. Ils sont dans nos pensées en ce moment.
Où que vous skiiez ou faites du snowboard, veuillez suivre le règlement de la piste ; les conséquences de ne pas le faire peuvent être véritablement tragiques. Merci à tous ceux qui soutiennent notre campagne en ce moment. Amie et Louise x
