It was a lot of snow and it came in fast and furious. The snow started about 1pm and by 3pm the resort was in a blizzard. Cars and buses were off the roads, people were stuck in lodges, restaurants had guests that couldn't leave and the whole village shut down with the anticipation of a huge powder day for today. Madarao did not fail to deliver with completely epic conditions absolutely everywhere. The strong winds persisted well into the day with heavy snow continuing all day long as well.
One of the great things about Madarao is that the lifts hardly ever go on wind hold as we are well protected and pretty well everything continued to spin delivering lucky skiers and boarders to snowy powder perfection all day long.
