What a strange report. And an even stranger headline, since they only mention Europe in passing, while they properly analyze fatalities only in the US (and contrast them to fatalities in cars/elevators): For the US, they break it down into fatalities per passenger-mile travelled, yet for Europe, they just state the raw number "fatalities since date X".
I would assume that in Europe there are a lot more people on a lot more ski lifts, so that the "per-passenger-mile-travelled" numbers are comparable or even lower in Europe (since building standards there are much higher than in the US)
