Dr. Rossi: Certainly! The first snowfall across Trentino, with depths ranging from 5 to 15 cm in various regions, is a promising start. This foundational layer will help support the artificial snow that will be produced in the coming days. The drop in temperature will aid in this process, allowing for a solid base for the season.
