Our good buddy Matthias Weishcelbaumer has been in Las LeƱas all season. Ā Itās been a trying experience. Ā Especially since Matthias knows exactly how good it can be.
Until last week, LeƱas was looking bad. Ā There was talk of closing early. Ā The bottom lifts had completely melted out and werenāt useable.
Then, a miracle happened. Ā 60 inches of blower powder fell on the summit of Las LeƱas and 40 inches came down at the base of the mountain on August 7th. Ā Locals rejoiced. Ā 2 days later on August 9th, they got their well deserved dessert: Ā the Marte Chair opened.
The Marte opened and it was unreal. Ā Big, steep, long faces and couloirs filled with feet of snow.
There hasnāt been any real evidence until today. Ā Thanks for the video Mattias.
