JUNEAU, Alaska—A skier died after being caught in an avalanche on North America’s tallest peak, officials said Wednesday—the second death of this year’s climbing season on Alaska’s Mount McKinley.
Nicholas Vizzini, 29, of Washington state and his climbing partner, a snowboarder, triggered the avalanche high on the 20,310-foot peak Tuesday while descending a slope, according to a statement from Denali National Park and Preserve.
