Good morning from Madarao.


And what's this?! Limited visibility this morning for a change rather than those blue skies and some fresh snow on the ground. The resort is reporting 5cm and I am able to measure and post 4cm to the report. Not a huge amount but welcome all the same with more snow due over the next few days.


It isn't as mild as yesterday, but still a little more than what we expect - though it should be getting colder today and more so from tomorrow.


It was busy out there yesterday and with today being the middle day of the long weekend I would expect a similar story today. Things should start to get quieter again around tomorrow afternoon as people make their way back home.


Special night time nighta operations this evening.
