“-Zeitung reports on Sunday about details of the sensitive incident in Neuer’s free time.
According to the newspaper, the accident happened on Friday afternoon on the Roßkopf (1,580 meters) in the Spitzingsee area, when Neuer was traveling at around 1,400 meters with several companions and fell on the descent towards Grünsee.
Mountain rescue service immediately sends rescue helicopters
The immediately alarmed Schliersee mountain rescue service immediately ordered the rescue helicopter “Christoph Murnau” to the scene of the accident. According to “Bild”, Neuer was flown to the BG hospital in Murnau, where he is said to have been admitted at 12.30 p.m.
The Schliersee mountain rescuer Lorenz Haberle said to the “image”: “In the area only a rescue by helicopter was possible.” The accident site is said to be off the regular slopes, where there are still many deep snow skiers.
Little snow on the slope at Spitzingsee
Since it hasn’t snowed that much this winter, the snow conditions were obviously anything but optimal, because tree roots and stones can protrude onto the slope. According to data from the avalanche warning service, the snow cover was only eleven centimeters. Haberle: “You can always go ski touring. But you have to be aware of the terrain. There are basically many criteria that should be clarified beforehand. He wasn’t the first injured of the week either.”
Unlike alpine skiing on groomed slopes or cross-country skiing, ski touring is more of a mountaineering discipline. With skis on their feet, ski tourers climb suitable mountains – and then ski down again in the classic form through unprepared, unsecured terrain. A special ski binding and climbing skins glued to the running surfaces of the skis only for the ascent allow you to go uphill in the snow as well as downhill.
