Eight Skiers Killed in Three Austrian Avalanches

On a sad Saturday in Austria, three big snow slides called avalanches happened.

In the first one, a lady skier got hurt very badly and passed away.

About an hour and a half later, another snow slide in a nearby valley hurt seven people.

Four of them passed away, two got really hurt, and one was okay.

Later that day, three Czech skiers were not so lucky in another snow slide.

Four of their friends were saved.

A mountain rescue leader said this is very sad and shows how dangerous the snow slides are right now.

He said there were many warnings about this danger.
