Morning from Madarao.


I bring news of fresh snowfall and (as much as we'd love to be in the middle of the blizzard right now...) lovely blue skies with just some cloud remaining.


The resort is reporting less than 10cm of fresh snowfall, I am measuring 6cm.


Looks like we can expect some sunshine before more snow tomorrow night. That doesn't look like it will be prolonged though with more sun due on Sunday and Monday.


We will need to wait until the later part of the coming week before we can expect more snow. Hopefully from them we might be blesses with some proper Madarao-like snowfall.


Madarao has officially delayed opening as noted yesterday, and they will open as soon as there is enough snow. Realistically, that is going to be next weekend at the earliest. (Please!)


Planned opening dates:


Madarao - opening delayed, will open as soon as there is enough snow
