ROME—A skier was killed in an avalanche on the morning of May 9 in the Dolomites near the ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo in northern Italy, Italy’s alpine rescue corps said.
The victim was a 23-year-old Italian man who was skiing with a group, including his brother, when the avalanche hit, said the rescue corps spokesman, Walter Milan. His body was retrieved by helicopter and taken to Cortina, a ski resort in the Veneto region, which was severely hit by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak that emerged in Italy in late February.
