This triangular column denotes the Trinity. The sighting piece connects the Memorial with the actual site of the tragedy, and reminds us of the unity of earth, sea and ski, and all therein.

Cette colonne triangulaire nous rappelled la trinité sainte. La pièce devisee joint le monument avec le site de la tragédie et nous rappelle que la terre, la meet, et la ciel me forme qu’un.
