While Mother Nature is withholding snow in many parts of the globe, she dumped a record setting 8 feet, 4.8 inches in an 18 hour span in the mountain village of Capracotta, Italy on March 5th. The monumental snowfall set a new record for the most single-day snow accumulation in the world, taking the honor from the town of Silver Lake, Colorado. The previous record was set back in 1921 in which the Colorado town received 6 feet, 4 inches during an April snowstorm.

Capracotta is located in the Isernia province of Italy in the Apennine Mountains, and is know for heavy late season snowfall. There are over 10 resorts located in adjacent areas to Capracotta, making it a good late season snow destination.

Given this recent snowfall and the lackluster snow totals in the Western United States, film crews and powder hounds are gearing up and heading to Euro-land to get their pow fix.
TransWorld SNOWboarding’s ‘Origins’ movie crews are in Europe, as well as Absinthe Films, Teton Gravity Research, and many more. Cheers to all the crews getting pitted in the copious amounts of European fluff and capturing it for all to see— We’re frothing with jealousy just thinking about the pow they’re about to finagle.
