 Vienna (AFP) Feb 24, 2009
 A 26-year-old Briton talked to friends on his mobile phone as he was being buried in an avalanche in western Austria Tuesday, the Austria Press Agency reported.

The young man, who survived unscathed, got lost while skiing near St. Anton, in western Tyrol, and was phoning friends skiing in the same area when he was partially buried under the mass of snow, APA said.

He was still able to alert them before the connection broke.

He eventually managed to free himself with one hand and called them back so that they could inform rescue services.

The skier was brought back to the station uninjured.
