Now, plans to build a multi-million-dollar ski facility on a snowless northern Italian mountain may prove equally challenging.

Old turnstiles, ski lift pillars, and even a map of now-vanished pistes can still be found on the mountain. Snow could become even more scarce in the future as the impacts of the climate crisis accelerate. The first plans for the Monte San Primo ski area were passed and the money pledged in early 2022.
