Tony Moggio, quadriplegic since 2010 after a rugby accident, will descend on January 31 in tandem ski the Vallée Blanche, one of the most prestigious glacial off-piste slopes in the world.

“I am physically and morally ready even if I know that there are going to be complicated passages, with a small mountaineering session on an ridge where we are going put me in a carrying chair,” he says.
