Was able to free himself
57-year-old man swept 80 meters by avalanche
A 57-year-old ski tourer was caught in an avalanche during a hike to the Tristkopf in the municipality of Wald im Pinzgau at the weekend and was swept around 80 meters away. The man was not completely buried and was able to free himself from the masses of snow despite his injuries.
The emergency helicopter "Martin 6" flew him to the Tauernklinikum Zell am See, reported the Salzburg police in a press release.
The man was walking alone when he fell into the snow slab. A mountain rescuer, who happened to be nearby, rushed to the injured man's aid and set the rescue chain in motion.
