Local girl Rhianna Shaw was lucky to escape unhurt from an avalanche in Austria this last week.  Buried under the snow for 15 minutes whilst her friends tried to find her, it was a terrifying ordeal as she was unable to move as the snow had turned to concrete around her.  No bones broken, she flew briefly back to the UK to be with her parents but has now returned to continue her work in the ski resort.
