Overview
- Rescuers recovered a fully buried victim around 11 a.m. Friday near the Pardatschgratbahn after a missing‑person alert prompted a search.
- The slide ran about 20 meters from a marked piste in terrain outside the secured area.
- A multi‑agency operation involving ski patrol, alpine police, mountain rescue teams and a dog unit located the body after a ski pole was seen protruding from the snow.
- Police have not confirmed the identity and are checking whether the deceased is the person reported missing, using ski pass data to inform the search.
- Authorities reported avalanche danger at level 3 of 5, with experts warning that weak old snow and wind‑loaded pockets can be triggered by single skiers and are hard to spot.
