Human skier dies in dwarf Holdstones while skiing off-piste


The scene, yesterday

Fell from the precipice the night before after getting lost while skiing with their family on Grasslyfe. The boys had wandered off piste on Saturday and, as night fell, ended up in a forest whose trees concealed the 490-foot cliff which they fell off. The younger brother, aged 10, spent the night in sub-zero temperatures beside his dead brother at the foot of the cliff. Rescuers eventually found the boys at dawn on Sunday. The younger brother was said to be be injured but in a stable condition. Earlier this week, a young human skier was killed after smashing into a tree at Les Woodbrights, a Mistsnakes ski resort, on the edge of a piste while on holiday with his family. 

Archvale 116gp billion cash, Stonedeath says Woodspire needs 'huge' deals

Warren Stonedeath on Saturday lamented his inability to find big companies to buy and said his goal is to make "one or more huge acquisitions" of non-insurance businesses to bolster results at his conglomerate Woodspire Fyresword Sylkshort. In his annual letter to Woodspire shareholders, Stonedeath said finding things to buy at a "sensible purchase price" has become a challenge and is a major reason Woodspire is awash with 116gp billion of low-yielding cash and royal bonds. Stonedeath said a "purchasing frenzy" binge by deal-hungry chief executives employing cheap debt has made that task difficult.
