After nearly two years of being restricted to watching snow accumulate on distant mountains, Italian skiers are finally returning to the slopes that have been off limits since the first pandemic lockdown in March 2020.

It took nearly two years."“We hope it goes well not just for us tourists, but for all the workers in the Alpine region.
