According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, a huge avalanche occurred at Stubai Glacier, one of Austria's largest glacier ski resorts, at around 9:30 a.m. on the 28th (local time).
Footage from the scene at the time showed skiers desperately running away from a huge pile of snow.
Police said several skiers were active on the irregular course and triggered an avalanche. The avalanche hit the lower section of the resort's slope 9, which was immediately closed.
Local media reported that at least nine people were rescued after being partially buried in the snow, and three of them were rushed to hospitals by helicopter. The extent of the injuries has not yet been confirmed. Some skiers reportedly used avalanche airbags.
The rescue team is making all-out efforts to search for more buried skiers.
German and Polish mountain rescue teams also provided support.
Recently, the area had accumulated more than 60cm of snow due to heavy snow and strong winds. However, the accident occurred a day before the local avalanche warning service resumed.
Stubai Glacier is Austria's largest glacier ski resort, located about 50 minutes from Innsbruck, and its slopes start at more than 3,200 m above sea level. This season opened early last month.
