Ninteen pupils and and their teacher were among skiers hit by the wall of snow on a closed ski run at Les Deux Alpes.

The group had been skiing on a black run yesterday in the resort that had be shut for saftey reasons.

Police said three children pulled from the snow suffered cardiopulmonary arrest - meaning their heart and breathing stopped - and are in a critical condition after being airlifted to hospital.

The teacher was found unconscious near the surface and was also evacuated by helicopter.
