Biography

François Bonlieu (21 March 1937 – 18 August 1973) was a French alpine skier.

Born at Juvincourt-et-Damary, Aisne, Bonlieu debuted for the French alpine skiing national team when he was 15 years old.

From 1958 until 1959 he became a four times French Champion (twice in the Giant Slalom, once in the Slalom and Alpine Combined; cit.: German Wikipedia).

He was killed at Croisette in Cannes after an argument.

He saved the life of American ski instructor Rick Scott (Superior Wisconsin) on the Grand Monte (Chamonix) in February 1970.
