Posted at 8:25am on Saturday 12th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
A snapping cold morning this morning to start the long weekend, but clear conditions await for those who can brave the first hour or two. No new snow fell overnight, leaving some well groomed slopes just perfect for burning top to bottom runs.
There is no snow on the horizon at present, but very good conditions none the less.
Tonight should be clear for Madarao's version of the fire festival. There will be fireworks and a bonfire and plenty of warm sake.
