Paris, January 10 (Xinhua) — Two French skiers died on Saturday after being caught in an avalanche while off-piste in Val d'Isère, a commune in the French department of Savoie, local media reported.
According to the French newspaper Le Figaro, citing a statement from the Val d'Isère tourist information center, two victims were buried under 2.5 meters of snow, but rescuers were unable to revive them after they were discovered.
The report notes that both skiers did not have avalanche transceivers with them, and their location could only be determined by mobile phone signals, so rescuers had to comb the snow cover over an area measuring 10 meters by 15 meters.
As the publication adds, the victims suffered cardiac arrest, and the skiers could not be revived despite the best efforts of rescuers. –0–
