The avalanches were at Praebichl, a resort roughly 150 km (90 miles) southwest of Vienna in the province of Styria. "Two people have been dug out dead. One other is seriously injured. One injured person is in hospital," a spokesman for Styria's emergency centre said. He did not give their nationality. All four people were skiing off piste, he said.
