Posted on Friday 17th March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


A curious mix of weather conditions early this morning. Clear. Gas/fog. Light snow.


Which will it be?! I reckon it's going to fairly quickly clear up and the fine weather will prevail.


Not much snow potential on the forecast now over the coming week - rather predominantly clearer skies. If we're not getting snowed on, we might as well have clear skies to enjoy. Just over two weeks left!


Madarao Kogen plans to be open until Sunday 2nd April.
