The hypothesis of the acquisition by the province, the lifts have long participated in a debate which has helped economists and industrial , who know the mountain and some environmentalists. We focused on the issue of "ethics" and assess the propriety of an expenditure of money by the public to a field - one of skiing - which for many years already lavishly funded, we discussed how the purchase, public company or as if through a case-by-case basis, there were those who read the intention purchase of a tactic anti-cyclical, a move to stem a financial crisis that we do not know how and what will result in the real economy of our territories.
But no one managed to outline an overall argument that is able to draw lines of perspective that questions the future of winter tourism, which talks about the future of the mountains in the light of this crisis, but especially in light of climate change involve the entire planet. To be clear: government intervention so structured, there is the problem of industrial restructuring of the winter tourism Trentino or continue in politics and stubborn bankruptcy of snow forced the ski runs at altitudes where the palms grow now? I think this is the point, not so much in the way of "saving" of companies that have only ever thought of profit, but in the ability of action planned to design a new management model for mountain tourism.
The superficiality with which he addressed the issue of purchase of the lifts, in fact, the litmus test that defines the number of policy inconsistency on the system Trentino Alps. E 'is also evidence that neither the lobby of the facility, but even the provincial administration in recent decades, we pose the problem of managing a structural transformation of the economy of the mountain, gradually closing all ski resorts below an altitude of 1800 meters and funding together a new model that builds on the land according to its specific local and smear the tourist throughout the year and not just in the few months skiing.
would be unfortunate under the guise of "rescue" companies in crisis perpetuate the iniquitous policy of funding new facilities, new snowmaking, further use of water and energy resources to feed the greed of snow cannons and left on the sidelines an opportunity to rethink a new tourism, a new economy of the mountain.
Environmental NGOs, but also and above all the committees that dot the valley Trentino, must succeed in order to claim that any action concerning the lifts are included in the debate on the future of the mountain, looking participatory political spaces and to determine the choices and to help in defining a new Alpine system.
lines on which we move are simple but clear, take account of the future and are not intended to squeeze the buffer solutions that we believe unnecessary and unpleasant for a proposed conversion of the tourist winter Trentino - abandoning the monoculture of alpine skiing - you must not forget that within a short time the ski areas of medium and low altitude will have almost no natural snow, and is no longer possibile sostituire l'innevamento naturale con grandi investimenti per la neve artificiale; per avviare un serio e graduale passaggio, gestito politicamente e in modo condiviso, è impensabile qualsiasi intervento di potenziamento e ampliamento nei comprensori sciistici. Detto questo, cosa ormai suffragata da studi e ricerche internazionali sia in campo climatologico che economico, intendiamo contrastare le proposte della Provincia – e le "aperture" di Dellai ai desideri degli impiantisti – se esse saranno (come oggi appaiono) una conferma della situazione esistente e cioè spreco di risorse pubbliche e un altro regalo alla lobby degli impiantisti.
