Two skiers triggered an immense avalanche on the Mölltaler Glacier in Austria on Friday the second of January. The avalanche was triggered just below the Schareckspitze and was several hundred meters wide and hundreds of meters long. Twelve people who were riding in the off-piste were dragged along by the avalanche. One person was completely buried, the other eleven were partially buried of which most could free themselves.
Immediately after the avalanche there a huge rescue operation started involving several helicopters and rescue services (police, fire departement and mountain rescue). All of the twelve victims were rescued alive from the snow masses. Partly on their own, partly by bystanders and rescue services. In the beginning it was not clear how many people were caught by the avalanche, so it lasted until 15:30 until they knew that no one was missing anymore.
