Stéphane Brosse (October 20, 1971 – June 17, 2012) was a French ski mountaineer.[1]
Biography
Brosse was born in Le Pont-de-Beauvoisin, Savoie.[2] He started ski mountaineering in 1990 and competed the first time at the Miage Contamines Somfy race in 1995. In 1996 he became member of the national team. Together with Pierre Gignoux he set the record and continued to hold it for the Mont Blanc course from May 30, 2003. The duo needed a total time of 5h 15' 47" for the total course, thereof about 4 hours and seven minutes for climbing up, and about one hour and seven minutes for the downhill race.[3][4] Since 2003 he and Lionel Bonnel had also held the Chamonix-Zermatt Haute Route record with 21h 11'.[5]
Stéphane Brosse died on June 17, 2012 while crossing the Aiguille d'Argentière in the Mont Blanc massif when a snow cornice collapsed under him, resulting in him falling between 600[6] and 700[7] metres. He was accompanied by Kílian Jornet Burgada, Sébastien Montaz-Rosset and Bastien Fleury.[7] Brosse lived in Annecy. He was 40.
