    MASSIVE slide in Austria

    5 dead, 17 total swept. 1.25 miles wide, 16 feet deep. Almost inconceivable. Vibes.

    1.25 miles wide is insane. I'd be amazed if it was only 5 people killed

    Backcountry / Ski touring area not far from innsbruck. 2 groups of Cech tourists (12 and 8 members) with guides. Hut based touring area in a miilitary training zone, i think klar or skiqunst had a trip report/pix of the area sometime last year?
    For any who can read german or want to stick it in google translator: http://lawinenwarndienst.blogspot.co.at/ but the pictures say it all.
    Conditions are awefull at the moment in Austria

    Area is called Wattener Lizum
