By afternoon, all skiers identified as from Germany, Bulgaria, and Austria had only minor injuries. Three of the survivors were airlifted to a hospital, while others were treated at the scene. Officials say the avalanche was caused by skiers crossing a slope with significant snow build-up, though some deployed airbags for safety.
