According to the police, the skier was skiing down the red slope no. 6 with his wife and a friend at around 10:15 am. His companions had skied ahead. After the 66-year-old did not reappear and could not be located even after several calls and search trips, his wife and the missing man's friend called the piste rescue team for help.
Falling off the piste
A large search operation was launched immediately. The man was eventually found motionless in the open terrain next to the piste. Resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful.
The man from Graz probably lost control of his skis and fell about 25 meters beyond the edge of the piste into open, snow-poor terrain. According to the police, the accident was not caused by a third party.
