Two Polish skiers were killed when an avalanche hit the Himalayan ski resort of Gulmarg, in Kashmir.
There were also 21 others buried under the snow, including two Kashmiri guides, when a huge snowslide powered down from the peak of the 14,400ft Mount Apharwat in the Affarwat area.
High-altitude rescue teams were called into action and they raced to the site on snow scooters, retrieving the bodies of the two Polish skiers, according to police officer Amod Nagpuri. It was later revealed that the two men were in their 40s.
