Were they fake vaxed? Or did they have to be fake vaxed before burial.

Were these Covid induced slides?
I hope they were wearing their masks and fully vaxxed, boosted and lathered up. Gotta be prepared when you get slammed by a few thousand tons of snow that sets up like cement in a few seconds.

‘off-piste’
They weren’t on the ski runs and may have been out of bounds.

Austria is still trying to convince the world that Beethoven was Austrian, and Hitler was German.
