“Avalanche free land – buried 1” – that was the operational code of the Tyrol control center. The avalanche had come shortly before 11 a.m. The rescued winter sportsman was flown to the clinic in Innsbruck after first aid, a police spokesperson told APA. Initially, there was no further information about the course of the avalanche and the identity of the victim.
Underland: Partial hazard level 4
According to the avalanche warning service in Tyrol, danger level 4 on the five-part scale prevailed in the Tyrolean lowlands on Friday. “Remote triggering and spontaneous avalanches are possible. New snow and snowdrifts can easily be released by a single winter sports enthusiast in all exposures. They are covered in snow and are barely recognizable even for experienced people.
Away from the ridge, snowdrift accumulations are greater. “Large avalanches are possible there. In addition, avalanches can tear through deep layers. Such dangerous places are in the steep terrain above the tree line. Small and medium snow avalanches are to be expected on the steep, rocky terrain,” say the experts.
