Yesterday Hari Berger was buried with the collapse of the ice chapel with Hintersee (flat gau) by 150 tons ice. Hari was with some friends for training in the avalanche cone below the Wieserhoerndls in the Osterhorngruppe on 850 m sea-height, when against 14.15 o'clock suddenly broke down the entire ice cave in itself and buried Hari under itself. Firefighters had to free its corpse with a special device. :(

gets the mind working over time, we are off to play in Rjukan on the frozen waterfalls in feb. :?
