The search was called off at 8.30 last night, no-one was found. There is an appeal for information from the Police.

Conflicting Evidence

According to witnesses, the skiers were swept away by the snow. Another witness, interviewed later, which was 200 meters away from the casting and has been observed at the outset, however, did not notice the presence of skiers, police said.

Research by electronics detection remained negative, as surveys conducted by the rescuers and search with avalanche dogs.

The research was conducted using two helicopters under a mandate from the REGA, 150 rescuers, eleven avalanche dog handlers and nine policemen in the region.

The eventual resumption of research will be a new appreciation Thursday morning. The police called other potential witnesses to come forward at 021 644 44 44, as well as those who would be no news of family members visiting the ski resort of Les Diablerets.
