Two skiers who left an ice rink were killed on Saturday in the canton of Graubünden in southeastern Switzerland, according to police. According to police, the dead were a 56-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man.
She pointed out that two victims were flooded with a large amount of snow, and rescuers watched their deaths. Police said the rescue operation had to be halted due to poor visibility and bad weather, and then resumed in the afternoon. Avalanches in Austria and Switzerland have killed five people, prompting officials from the two countries to warn on Saturday of the dangers of unstable snow cover.
