Man caught driving van across ski slopes in Val d'Aosta

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 13 - A 24-year-old Belarussian man was stopped and fined Monday afternoon after being caught driving his van over ski slopes at the La Thuile resort in Val d'Aosta, local sources said Tuesday.
    The man had first eluded security guards who signalled to him to stop, fitted snow tyres to his van and continued to drive his Poland-registered Renault Master up the hill, they said.
    It was only when Carabinieri from La Thuile arrived that the man stopped.
    He passed a blood alcohol test and was fined 200 euros, before taking his van across to the Mt Blanc Tunnel and continuing his journey into France. (ANSA).
