 Poster: A snowHead

Hopefully this is not behind a paywall https://www.sueddeutsche.de/panorama/lawine-suedtirol-ortler-todesopfer-li.3333188 . Strangely for the 1st November there seems to have been an accident where ski touring parties have been caught in an avalanche with multiple fatalities. Odd there is enough snow to ski tour, even more so enough for a fatal avalanche. Location appears to be the slopes under the Vertainspitze to the east of Sulden not far from Passo Stelvio & the Ortler.

Der italienischen Nachrichtenagentur Ansa zufolge handelt es sich bei ihnen um zwei Männer und eine Frau im Alter zwischen etwa 30 und 50 Jahren. Sie seien als Tourengeher unterwegs gewesen.

Looks to me like there were 3 groups and at least one group was ski touring. (the other groups have been ice climbing, snowshoeing etc.). It doesn‘t say if they were all taking the same route. It‘s possible that one group (e.g. Ski tourers ) set off the avalanche that then hit the other groups.

I read this as ski touring but it could be climbing too (Leo suggests "Tourengehen" the Alpine way, i.e. climbing with skis and then skiing down, is "ski mountaineering". "Touren gehen" in summer is "fell-walking"), even so an unusual time of year for this type of accident.

I'm sure the Lawinenwarndienst Tirol and the police will publish a report this week or next with more of the known facts.
