Like an old memory... - a photo on Flickriver

            Macugnaga. Italy.

And here it is, too late, the snow...
When General winter should have shaken the hand of Miss Spring, He drew instead the sword.
After a long dry season, the first weeks of March brought the snow you could expect from an entire winter. And we are back to views we were about to think were going to become only memories.

From the ski pistes of Monte Moro pass, view toward the giant East face of Monte Rosa, 4.634m. 

The East face of Monte Rosa is the biggest iced wall of the Alps, with an height of 2,400m and a width of 3,600m.

The building in the foreground is an old, abandoned bar/restaurant. On these south facing slopes, the days you can ski are getting fewer and fewer and nobody wants to run the business of this small bar anymore.
Mother Earth is presenting the bills...

Ed eccola qui, troppo tardi, la neve...
Quando il Generale Inverno avrebbe dovuto stringere la mano a Miss Primavera, sguainò invece la spada.
Dopo l'ennesimo inverno di siccità, le prime settimane di marzo hanno portato la neve che ci si poteva aspettare da un intero inverno.

Dalle piste da sci del Passo del Monte Moro, vista verso la gigantesca parete est del Monte Rosa. 

La Parete Est del Monte Rosa è la più grande delle Alpi, con un'altezza di 2.400m  e una larghezza fino a 3.600m.

L'edificio in primo piano è un vecchio bar. Quì le piste sono rivolte a sud, e le giornate in cui si può sciare si accorciano di anno in anno, quindi nessuno vuole più gestire l'attività di questo piccolo ristoro.
Madre Natura presenta i conti...
