## Summary

A 14-year-old British schoolboy was seriously injured after crashing through a safety fence and falling about 100ft from a slope at Austria’s Hintertux Glacier resort. The incident happened during a training session on Wednesday; he was treated by mountain rescue and airlifted to hospital.

Police said he was approaching a bend on a red run, which is classed as intermediate difficulty, when he fell. He suffered serious injuries to his face and back, and his name has not been released. Hintertux is Austria’s only year-round ski resort, with 64km of slopes; the article also notes two British fatalities in ski incidents in the French Alps earlier this year.
