An Australian teenager has died on a family ski trip in Austria.
The 16-year-old was skiing with his family when he became trapped under an avalanche.
Local police say he was buried under two metres of snow after his family became stuck in steep terrain.

The boy was stuck under the snow for 20 minutes and could not be revived once he was pulled free.
