Good morning from Madarao.


More snow since yesterday and it has been falling early morning but has eased off now. As I write this there is some sun shining through the remaining clouds and some blue sky opening up. For the next few days there is a good chance of clearer skies and sunshine and while it is cold this morning things will be getting milder from tomorrow. Hopefully not be too much. Snow should be falling again as we enter the next week.


We have had a lot of snow over the last three days and it has really given us a total refresh and there are really good conditions out there now.


All tree runs at Tangram are now open too.
