A 31-year-old German woman was killed Saturday in the South Tirol region of Italy when a snowmass broke loose at 2,200 meters near the Limo Pass some 80 kilometers east of Bolzano, the dpa news agency reported. Rescue efforts were complicated by 120-kilometer-per-hour winds; her body was recovered from under 2.5 meters of snow. Another woman skiing with her was freed from the snow unharmed.
Other victims Saturday included a 29-year-old ski guide and his 33-year-old male guest who were skiing away from prepared ski runs when a snowboarder set off an avalanche above them in St. Anton in Austria. And in Kaunertal a 62-year old man was killed by another snowslide.
