'An avalanche had buried all five of us in the kitchen. I thought it was the end for us all'
Eli Anne Ersdal, 35, and co-habitating couple Elke Morgner, 35, and Malte Jochmann, 38, suddenly found themselves buried in the snow. And their small children were gone.
Elke Morgner, Eli Anne Ersdal and Malte Jochmann with Svala and Elida were completely buried inside the kitchen when the avalanche went on 19 December last year.
