Posted on Thursday 12th March 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Winter conditions continue this morning with another 15cm being reported by the resort and at least that much at base around my place since yesterday morning.


It's another cold morning, snow continues to fall but just at the moment I can just about see most of the mountain so visibility while limited higher up will generally be fair - at the start of the day anyway.


Next week the forecasts are saying a return to spring like weather conditions so let's get as much snow in as possible before then. Snow forecast today, perhaps easing tomorrow but more before we start the day on Saturday.


Then clearer skies from Sunday.
