Four skiers are dead after being buried by an avalanche in Northern Norway. Authorities say one person was dug out alive and taken to the hospital after snow broke loose in Sorbmegaisa, a steep mountain popular with back country skiers.

Rescue helicopters and dogs took part in the search for the skiers who are believed to have been tourists from Switzerland and France. One person is still missing.
