An impressive place, what a wonderful iron structure coming out of the mountain. I confess that I had not seen anything like it. I was also impressed with the avalanche protectors since there is no snow in my country.
And what annoying people, some really don't get the hints.
No snow isn't a bad thing. Snow can be nice for a very brief period of time but then it gets pretty annoying - bad roads, endless shoveling of driveways, cold...etc
I would enjoy living someplace warm year round.
