Viennese Skier Seriously Injured in Accident on Planai

With the start of the winter sports season, the first ski accidents are occurring in the areas.

On Thursday afternoon, a heavily intoxicated skier from Vienna collided with a rope that was set up to secure a snow groomer in Schladming. At that time - around 5:30 PM - the slope on the Planai was closed due to grooming work.

The woman was initially transported by the Red Cross to the Diakonissen Hospital in Schladming and then to the LKH Salzburg. A preliminary alcohol test conducted showed a high level of intoxication of the winter sportswoman, as reported by the State Police Directorate of Styria on Friday.
