Amiata, 5 January 2025 – The Amiata divided by two and this time it has to do with weather forecast. The increase in temperatures that occurred in the last two days “ate” a good part of the snow on the ground that is in the Prati delle Macinaie and Contessa, forcing the Isa company to close the plants. on pinnacle HOWEVER we continued skiing and even yesterday many tourists flocked to the top of the mountain.
“Sirocco is our worst enemy. – explains Luciano Porcellonivice president of isa Impianti – Unfortunately, when you wake up in the morning and instead of the usual bright sunshine, with the first rays, shining on the white snow you see brown stripes of snow that mixed with the ground, you feel filled with a sense of defeat. Yes! because those brown streaks on the snow, like the clothes of a zebra, mean, for the mountain people, a clear warning: that the sirocco has won again! and, in one day, it wiped out all our optimism and all our satisfaction.”
In short, the sirocco is the enemy of the ancestor of our Amiata, which is difficult to fight in all seasons, especially in winter. “An enemy that reigns supreme and always brings us back to the harsh reality that nature is stronger than us, than all our projects and all our goodwill – they commented -. But just starting from It’s January and the season is still long so to quote baseball coach Yogi Berra: “It ain’t over till it’s over.” Thousands and thousands of people visit Amiata thanks to neve. The new treadmill which is also available to those who enjoy sledding and the new features of the school camp are very much appreciated. “Teamwork works – concludes Porcelloni – everyone does what they can with great passion and the results (at least morally) are visible. ISA has made a big step forward in the eyes of many man.”
