LYON: Two French off-piste skiers died after being buried by an avalanche Saturday at Val-d’Isere in the French Alps, the resort’s tourism office said. The two men were buried under 2.5 meters of snow. Members of their group had raised the alarm, but rescuers were unable to revive them after finally reaching them, said a statement. French weather forecasters had warned of a high risk of avalanches this weekend, with a level four out of five on the European avalanche danger scale.
