Cortina's Olympic Pace: Charm, Chaos, and a Shared Song

Sports Illustrated’s travel essay on Cortina for the 2026 Winter Games spotlights a town kept in motion by its own deliberate tempo: crowded late-night van rides, a mysterious roadblock, Carnevale crowds, and a culture of relaxed urgency. The piece argues that while the Games bring cost, chaos, and logistical quirks, they also foster human moments—shared songs, quiet Alpine beauty, and a spirit of international goodwill—that endure beyond the hype and remind readers why the Olympics still captivate audiences.

Avalanche Toll Surges in Italian Alps as Winter Games Open

Thirteen backcountry skiers, climbers, and hikers died in avalanches along Italy's Alpine crescent as the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics began; authorities say 10 of the deaths were caused by an unstable snowpack from fresh snowfall and wind, with incidents on ungroomed slopes away from Olympic sites in Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino's Val di Fiemme. The Alpine Rescue Corps also rescued U.S. skier Lindsey Vonn after a fall, while rescuers noted no avalanche danger at managed resorts and urged backcountry travelers to heed avalanche bulletins until the snowpack stabilizes.
