The winter season of Bormio has closed yesterday on April 14 with the day of 'fools' which brought a huge crowd to the ski area. La Pozza dei Mat proved itself again as a smash event. About 6000 people entered our gates and the area in Bormio 2000 was literally packed. The contributing factor of this great result was surely the weather: for the first time in this year we finally had sun and warm as in the best Spring days.
The contest of the pond which consists of crossing a 30-meter long and 15-meter wide stretch of water was divided into four categories: Normal Grand, Normal Picen, Jump and Mat. 146 brave ones took part at the challenge.
The crowd followed with great excitement the contest which began with 23 Normal Picen (children with skis), then 26 Normal Grand (adults). The level of the show grew with the acrobatics at the jump and totally exploded with the wagons. We saw 22 construnctions trying to cross the pond.
