premise: In the north , the snowcapped Alps and jagged pink pinnacles of the Dolomites ; the gleaming Alpine-backed lakes of Como , Garda , and Maggiore ; the fertile and industrial plain of the Po , stretching from Turin and Milan across to ancient Verona ; the Palladian-villa studded hills of Vicenza ; and the romantic canals of Venice .
hypothesis: The Alps are covered in snow tear-round so they are great for skiing .
