It is understood her pals survived the horror avalanche – but were reportedly suffering from hypothermia when found by cops.
The woman described herself as a keen mountaineer and ski instructor.
She posted regularly on Instagram videos and photos of her skiing and rock climbing.
However, the avalanche risk was considered “considerable” when the woman went out in the snow to ski, it is understood.
An investigation into the tragedy has been launched.
