"In the last two days we controlled all the information about the atmospheric disturbance that is going to arrive on the Monte Rosa, we hoped to localize a break in the bad weather but this morning we understood that, for now, it is impossible so the Trofeo Mezzalama won’t take place this week end. We spoke to Luca Mercalli and to the Regione Valle d’Aosta, for what concerns technical aspects, then we decided with Giorgio Pession to take this decision. In two days we will communicate the new date."
