Good morning from Madarao.


Anyone get out yesterday? Happily visibility improved and it was just great to get out on the skis again. I even had a stint on the board too. Didn't know what to do!


The snow clouds have moved on and this morning is much calmer, there's some thin cloud but the sun is shining through. Nice.


The Number 2 quad lift gets going this morning along with some other course areas (see below) so operations are already expanding.


With more snow due in the first part of the week hopefully that will continue and it shouldn't be long before it all gets open.


Have a good Sunday.
