The boy was first successfully resuscitated and taken to Salzburg University Hospital. There, the eleven-year-old succumbed to his serious injuries.
"Poison run" with a gradient of up to 65 percent
There are five black pistes in Wagrain, all of which have a gradient of around 30 degrees. According to "Krone" information, the slope involved in the accident was piste number 15, which is known as the "poison run". This slope has a gradient of up to 65 percent and an incline of 32.5 degrees. It is around 300 meters long.
Warning about the black slope
As can be seen on Google images, there is a sign at the start of the slope with a warning: "Use at your own risk". It was still unclear on Tuesday evening whether the boy was accompanied by his parents when he entered the piste or whether they had just lost sight of him.
