Avalanches in Italy kill three in Winter Olympic regions
- On Saturday, avalanches killed three people skiing off-piste in the Trentino Alto Adige and Lombardy regions, which host Winter Olympic venues near Albosaggia.
- Heavy snowfall in recent days prompted AINEVA to warn fresh snow and moderate winds formed wind-drifted slabs dislodged by one winter sports enthusiast, flagging a marked risk for Sunday.
- On the Marmolada massif, rescuers recovered a man who had gone off-piste at Punta Rocca after he reportedly triggered one of two avalanches in the area near Cortina d'Ampezzo, aided by a helicopter from Livigno supporting Winter Olympic operations.
- There was a huge emergency response with three helicopters deployed as medical teams reached two skiers, one dead and one critical, while investigators said a possible fourth victim is unconfirmed.
- Pizzo Meriggio sits near Albosaggia in the Orobie Alps, with broadleaf woodland beginning at around 1,200 metres, influencing avalanche dynamics in the region.
