Two people remained unaccounted for after an avalanche in the Lech/Zuers free skiing area in western Austria on Sunday, December 25, that initially prompted a search for 10 people feared buried, the Austrian Press Agency (APA) reported.
The avalanche occurred at about 3 p.m. (1400 GMT), APA said, adding that several helicopters and search teams deployed soon afterward.
The suspicion that 10 people were buried by the avalanche was based on a skier’s video that showed “how the skiers come into contact with the avalanche,” APA quoted Hermann Fercher of the Lech/Zuers tourist office as saying.
