Our 9th season is done. What a ride!
We always get a wonderful range of snow magic here at Madarao. Our biggest season was 2022 — a whopping 22 metres on the Snowball Chalet lawn. Totally epic.
This year was a very different story. The full season total was just 6.4 metres. Compare that to our big seasons of 22 metres or our normal seasons of 11–13 metres and it doesn't sound like much.
But here's the thing — it was kind of brilliant.
We had around the same number of storms and most delivered more than 20 centimetres, making for near-perfect conditions. Once a storm exceeds 40 centimetres you're talking bottomless powder — the best snow just about anyone on the planet could hope for. Personally it's never too deep, but 3 metre storms aren't for everyone!
Because of the way the snow fell, almost every storm delivered and we had way more bluebird days than normal. I want it to go back to its normal of deeeeep snow every night but I can begrudgingly acknowledge that even our lowest snowfall season in 9 years was still pretty well perfect.
Snow dance choreography for next season has already begun. Not posting a pic of my snow dance outfit. Nobody needs to see me in my snowkini!
Our 10th Anniversary season is coming and we are planning something special to celebrate. Bring on 26-27!
