A group of skiers who went missing close to Matterhorn mountain in the Swiss Alps tried to dig "snow caves" to save themselves from the freezing temperatures. One of the lead rescuers told Sky News the bodies of five missing skiers were found by rescuers over the weekend, with the search continuing for a sixth, who could still be trapped due to the treacherous weather conditions.
" He said one of the problems the group had was a lack of proper equipment, with only "small and light" shovels. "With this equipment, you can't manage to keep up if the snow is coming down really quickly," he said. With the search ongoing for the sixth missing person, Mr Truffer said everyone involved in the mission needs to be "realistic" about the outcome.
