Ten people have been found alive in the Italian hotel which was buried in an avalanche on Wednesday, say rescuers.
Fire brigade spokesman Luca Cari said: "They are alive and we are talking to them."
Up to 30 people were reported missing after the avalanche buried the Hotel Rigopiano in central Italy.
So far four dead bodies have been found.
The four-star hotel is in a remote, mountainous region and rescuers had to use skis to reach the scene.
The main road was blocked off by heavy snow and gaining access has proved extremely difficult.
Temperatures have remained below zero.
Four powerful earthquakes struck the region on Wednesday but it is unclear whether any of these triggered the avalanche just hours later.
The 300-metre wide snow slide uprooted trees and wiped out parts of the four-storey hotel, trapping dozens of people, including two children.
