The day of Dominik Paris’ beautiful race on the Stelvio track in Bormio and in recent weeks with the Dolomites covered in white as it has not happened in a long time, bad news for lovers of high mountain skiing. In fact, the Regions asked the government to set the date for the reopening of the ski resorts as January 18, instead of January 7 as originally established. The proposal is contained in a letter sent by the president of the Conference of the Regions, the governor of Emilia-Romagna Stefano Bonaccini, to the ministers Francesco Boccia and Roberto Speranza, who have always been among the most intransigent of the Conte government regarding measures to contain movements in an anti-contagion code.

Appointment postponed with slalom and descents

“At present – writes Bonaccini – also due to the recent epidemiological trend at the international level that has not facilitated the taking of the necessary decisions, it is believed that the conditions do not exist to allow initiatives and programmable actions that allow the opening of plants in on January 7 “. Pending” the necessary guidelines, as an essential document for the start of the winter season, the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces “requests, therefore, the Ministers of Regional Affairs and Health” that redefine the date set on January 18, 2021 for the ‘Opening of lifts in ski resorts and areas to amateur skiers.’

Skiing does not start again on January 7, the alarm cry: “Let’s go back to the snow in January or it doesn’t make sense.

But you’ll only ski in the yellow zone

Following the interventions of the Scientific Technical Committee in the meeting of December 24, the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces reformulated the guidelines approved on November 23. And there it is established that the opening of the ski lifts in the ski resorts and areas can only take place in the Region or Province located at least in the so-called “yellow zone”. In short, the snowy slopes will be immaculate in the “orange or red” area. “Considering that the winter season represents an important economic chain in the territories of the alpine and mountainous arc – continues the letter to Boccia and Speranza – and in order to allow the various economic and non-economic actors to organize themselves in the best possible way to guarantee maximum security. to the guests and workers of the sector ”, Bonaccini asks that“ the guidelines be validated by the Scientific Technical Committee before January 7, so that they can be adopted and attached to the next Dpcm ”.
