AI Summary

short article 1 min

Livigno, an Italian Alpine resort, received fresh snowfall on January 8, 2026. This occurred less than a month before the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, where freestyle skiing and snowboarding events are scheduled to take place. Livigno is one of the venues for the upcoming Winter Olympics. The snowfall is notable because officials had previously expressed concerns about the Games' over-reliance on artificial snow. The natural snowfall may alleviate some of those concerns as the Olympics approach.
