Injured in a fall
Slope closed: Skier overlooked winch cable
The start of the ski season (on the glaciers) also marks the "starting signal" for serious winter sports accidents: In Sölden in the Tyrolean Ötztal, a female skier suffered serious injuries on a closed (!) piste at the weekend. She overlooked the winch cable of a Ratrac and fell.
The fatal accident happened on Saturday afternoon. The 38-year-old skier had skied from the top station of the "Schwarze Schneid II" lift on the Rettenbachferner into the closed piste no. 41.
