A dramatic incident occurred on Saturday morning in the Austrian ski area Schröcken when a ski guide was recorded and buried by an avalanche. At 11:15 a.m., a snowboard loosened while the man pulled alone on a slope. His three companions, who moved with him on a variant descent, reacted quickly and were able to locate the ski guide using avalanche seekers. The injured person was immediately cared for by the emergency doctor and flown to the hospital in Feldkirch by rescue helicopter. According to the police, the injuries of indefinite degrees, such as Oe24.at reported.

Already on Friday there was another avalanche outcome in the Lech region, but there were no spilled people. The avalanche had covered the "Zugertobel" ski route over a length of several meters with snow up to 1.8 meters. Rescue workers, including mountain railway employees, police and alpine rescue services, searched for the affected area. Despite the great commitment, including a police helicopter and avalanche dog dogs, nobody could be found under the snow masses. At the time of the incident, warning level three in this area were on a five -part scale, which indicates considerable avalanche risk. On Saturday afterwards, the avalanche danger was reduced to warning level, such as the Allgäuer Zeitung reported.
