<p>A 28-year-old man and 23-year-old woman who went missing while snowshoeing were found dead near Salzburg in central Austria, the Austrian news agency APA reported.</p>
<p>About 40 rescuers with dogs were still searching for two others who went missing while snowshoeing near Hohenberg in Lower Austria, it added.</p>
<p>In Germany, a 44-year-old man died in Wackersberg, Bavaria, when he was hit by tree branches brought down by heavy snow, police said.</p>
<p>Authorities also said a woman who was buried by an avalanche last week in the Uri canton (state) of Switzerland has died of her injuries.</p>
<p>Also on the weekend, three skiers in Austria were killed by avalanches and one woman in Bavaria died in a weather-related incident.</p>
<p>The Hochkar alpine road and the entire Hochkar skiing region in Lower Austria were closed because of the high risk of avalanches.</p>
<p>Residents and visitors were asked to leave the region by the end of the day.</p>
<p>Austrian authorities warned skiers not to go off the slopes and not drive their cars unless needed.</p>
<p>More snow was forecast for the coming days and the alpine country said it was getting mountaineer teams and helicopters ready for possible rescue missions.</p>
<p>In Bavaria, authorities also had to close roads and some train lines because of heavy snowfall, and in some parts of southern Bavaria and the Steiermark region in Austria schools were closed because of the weather conditions.</p>
<p>Police in Norway released the names of four skiers &#8211; a 29-year-old Swedish woman and three Finns, aged 29, 32 and 36 &#8211; who are presumed dead after a 300 metre-wide (990ft-wide) avalanche was reported on Wednesday in Tamok valley, near the northern city of Tromsoe.</p>
<p>Heavy snowfall and poor visibility had hampered rescue efforts over the past few days.</p>
