Hello from Madarao.


Fresh snow!


And... Madarao will open tomorrow (Saturday 13th). It's not clear what lifts will be operating, they will decide that later today, but it will be part open.


The ski area is reporting 35cm of fresh overnight, though I'm not seeing as much as that. But, a decent amount all the same.


Tomorrow should be clearer (and less windy than today), with more snow forecast Sunday night.


Planned opening dates:


Madarao: Saturday 13th December

Tangram Ski Circus: Saturday 20th December
