Two Italian skiers are dead
after being hit by an avalanche in the north of Sweden, the
Niehku Mountain Villas tourist agency said on Friday.
The deceased, aged 45 and 50, were part of a party of five
Italians on a heli-skiing excursion at Kårsavagge, close to the
border with Norway.
The Alpine guide that was with the group was also hit by the
avalanche but, unlike the two deceased, he stayed on the surface
of the snow and was not buried under it.
