Avalanche hits snowshoe hiker on the Rotwand: Two helicopters in action. The operations manager of the Schliersee mountain rescue service was supposed to be able to process a few more emails before he even found out about the potential avalanche accident.
Due to poor cell phone reception, the emergency call from the son of the snowshoes hiker who was swept away by the masses of snow took an unwanted detour. A colleague managed to determine the location on the (ultimately correct) south side of the mountain range.
