A fit and healthy British woman enjoying a skiing holiday in the Alps died after collapsing in a chair lift next to her teenage daughter.
Cheryl Fairbrother, 45, was making the ascent up Monetier’s L’Yret at Serre Chevalier, the resort in south-east France where her daughter Jade Ramsden, 19, was working.
Attempts to resuscitate her both in the chair lift and at the summit failed and she died before reaching hospital.

Tragedy: Serre Chevalier, in the Hautes-Alpes region of France, where Miss Fairbrother and her daughter were skiing

Machinist Cheryl, of Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, had flown out for a week’s skiing with her partner of more than 25 years, Stephen Ramsden, 49.
Fit and healthy: Cheryl Fairbrother, a mother of two, was described as a ‘nice, happy go lucky lass’
A more advanced skier, he had been using another slope when the tragedy occurred.
Their other child, son Matt, 18, who was not with the party, is in England.
Stephen’s parents Roland and Ann Ramsden, of Cragg Vale, West Yorkshire, have spoken of their shock.
Roland, 81, said: ‘We are not aware of any health problems. She was fit, did a lot of walking and running and ate healthily.
‘Jade and Cheryl were taking a chair lift up the mountain and on the way up Cheryl went dizzy and collapsed and the altitude wouldn’t have helped.
‘It had to carry on higher and higher.”
From a distressing phone call from Jade it appeared first aid was given to her mother.
MOUNTAIN SICKNESS
The top of the Pic De L’yret is 2,830m.
It is not known, what Ms Fairbrother died from. However, altitude sickness in its mildness form can kick in at heights over 2,500m above sea level, which is a common height for many ski resorts.
It is caused by the decrease in atmospheric pressure, which can make breathing difficult causing headaches, nausea and exhaustion.
Severe altitude sickness is a medical emergency, but tends to occur at altitudes of 3,600m and above.
Life-threatening symptoms include confusion, clumsiness, drowsiness and convulsions.
Mr Ramsden sadi: ‘Jade was devastated. She said “my mum has not made it” and I said “What do you mean?”.
‘Stephen is in bits,” said Mr Ramsden.
Mrs Ramsden, 75, said the tragedy didn’t make sense as Miss Fairbrother was fit and healthy.
She said: ‘She was no age at all and a nice lass who was happy-go-lucky.
‘I’ve never seen her lose her temper.
‘When we heard the news Roland and I just gasped and looked at each other. Jade was sobbing.
‘She had been pleased her mum and dad had gone out to see her.’
Family friend Rob Crossley said a skiing accident would have been a shock, but more acceptable than the sudden death of a fit person.
‘It’s like being in a bad dream. A lovely family who got on so well together,” he said.

This shocked me straight away as I thought that was my daughter in the photo! I have to keep looking at it. I agree with everyone saying that we should appreciate our families today. Can’t wait for my daughter to come home so I can cuddle her.

Harsh – poor family 🙁

The sudden death could be due to a few things, a Pulmonary Embolism., a heart arrythmia or a brain aneurysm.
One consolation is this lady died next to her daughter in happy circumstances. Love your family, stop arguing and enjoy every day.
My heart goes out to this young lady and her family. Be brave.

How awful for Jade, this will stay with her for such a long time. Its hard enough to lose you Mum but in these circumstances its worse, believe me. My (supposed) fit healthy mum I were walking down the street and she dropped down dead, right in front of me. I am first aid trained so went straight into CPR as I couldn’t find a heartbeat she wasn’t breathing, I couldn’t bring her back and 6 years later it still haunts me. The autopsy stated she died of heart failure. Salgirl 15:56 is right, life can be so cruel unpredictable. RIP Cheryl and my thoughts are with the family
