Good morning from Madarao.
The Number 1 and Number 2 quad lifts at Madarao will be open on Saturday, with the big opening planned for 9:00am.
They plan to have a bunch of runs off those lifts open.
And conditions are going to be great. I don't we could ask for much better.
For the moment the snow has eased off. There's even some sunshine and blue skies. I'm guessing it is going to be temporary though as more snowfall is forecast, particularly tomorrow night through Saturday.
Clearer skies and generally calmer weather appear to be on the cards from sometime early week.
Madarao snow info:
- Official snow depth: 120cm
- New snow reported by ski area (24 hours): 60cm
(* I think they have their new snow and snow depth mixed up this morning, as those two numbers are flipped)
