German snowboard star killed by avalanche

A 33-year-old German snowboarder was killed by an avalanche in the Austrian ski resort of Obergurgl on Tuesday.

A brother who accompanied her could come sideways to safety for the shifting snow and make an alarm. Presumably the duo, who had the recommended emergency equipment with him, caused the avalanche itself. There has been a lot of snow in this part of Tyrol and the danger alongside the beaten track is considerable, especially above the 2200 meters.
