Dutch prince Johan Friso was hospitalised in Austria on Friday (17Feb12) after he was caught up in an avalanche.
Queen Beatrix's son was skiing off marked trails at the western Austrian ski resort of Lech when he was buried by a snow slide.
He was taken to a medical facility in Innsbruck after suffering oxygen deprivation and treated in the intensive care unit.
A statement from the Dutch government reads, "His life is still in danger, but he had a calm and stable night... Her Majesty the Queen and (Friso's wife) Princess Mabel are with Prince Friso... doctors treating him will only be able to give a prognosis in a matter of days."
