Ruby died after a climbing accident on Mont Blanc, which is the highest mountain in the Alps and in Western Europe. The French Olympic Committee disclosed the news on Friday.
Fabien Saguez, technical director of the French Ski Federation, said he remembered Ruby's return from Nagano and the celebration that ensued. "It epitomized what we are fighting for," said Saguez. "She will be missed terribly."
According to several media reports, Ruby and a group of climbers were near Chamonix, France when the accident took place. Two climbers, including Ruby, were killed, when they fell into a crevasse, and another was seriously injured.
