当局周六表示，奥地利西部连续发生的一系列雪崩已造成至少5人死亡。
蒂罗尔地区政府办公室称，过去一周的强降雪导致积雪厚度达5英尺（约1.5米）。该办公室表示，加上大风天气和下方薄弱的积雪层，这些条件使雪崩特别容易发生。
蒂罗尔警方称，周五下午在圣安东阿尔贝格（St. Anton am Arlberg）地区海拔约6500英尺（约1981米）处，5名野雪滑雪者被卷入了一场近490码（约448米）宽的雪崩中。
警方表示，雪崩后发现的5名遇难者中包括一名美国人和一名波兰人，另有一名21岁的奥地利人在被紧急送往医院后因伤势过重死亡。
数十名山地救援队成员、救护车和消防部门工作人员以及几支警犬队被部署参与救援行动。
周五上午晚些时候，在东南部的瑙德斯-伯格卡斯特尔（Nauders-Bergkastell）度假村，一名42岁的德国男子和他16岁的儿子被雪崩掩埋。少年受伤后幸存并呼救，但其父亲不幸遇难。
邻近的福拉尔贝格州克洛斯特莱（Klösterle）地区警方称，一名39岁的瑞士单板滑雪者在野雪区域被雪崩掩埋并死亡。
蒂罗尔州长安东·马特勒（Anton Mattle）在一份声明中表示：”近期的降雪正吸引大量人员前往山区——即使是在野雪区域。令人痛心的是，我们已经记录了多起造成伤亡的雪崩事件。”
他的办公室称，周五报告了近3打（约36起）雪崩事件，上周则超过200起。州长办公室表示，本月到目前为止已有11人在雪崩中丧生。上个月，三起独立的雪崩事件造成8名滑雪者死亡。
该地区办公室称：”周日也看不到缓解迹象，天气仍然不稳定。”
At least 5 killed, including American, in a string of avalanches in western Austria

At least five people were killed in a string of avalanches in western Austria, authorities said Saturday.
The government office of the Tyrol region said intense snowfall over the last week led to accumulations of up to 5 feet. Combined with windy conditions and weak snowpack below, the conditions were especially susceptible to avalanches, it said.
Tyrol police said five off-piste skiers were caught up in a nearly 490-yard-wide avalanche Friday afternoon in the St. Anton am Arlberg area at an altitude of about 6,500 feet.
An American and a Pole were among the five recovered dead after the avalanche, and a 21-year-old Austrian died of injuries after being rushed to the hospital, police said.
Dozens of mountain-rescue team members, ambulance and fire department staffers, as well as several dog squads, were deployed for the operation.
Late Friday morning in the Nauders-Bergkastell resort to the southeast, a 42-year-old German man and his 16-year-old son were caught in an avalanche. The teen survived with injuries and called for help, but his father was killed.
In Klösterle in the neighboring Vorarlberg region, a 39-year-old Swiss snowboarder was caught and killed by an avalanche in an off-piste area, regional police said.
“The recent snowfall is currently drawing many people to the mountains – even off-piste,” Tyrol governor Anton Mattle said in a statement. “It is painful that we have already had to record several avalanches with injuries and fatalities.”
His office said nearly three dozen avalanche incidents were reported on Friday, among more than 200 over the last week. So far, 11 people have lost their lives in avalanches this month, the governor’s office said. Three separate avalanches last month killed eight skiers.
“No relief is in sight for Sunday either,” the region office said. “The weather remains turbulent.”
