Posted on Thursday 18th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Early report this morning.


It's going to be a great morning too, as we expected.


20cm of snow on the ground last night and overnight the clouds have cleared leaving us with clear blue skies.


Perfect morning to be out on the skis or board, hopefully not warming up too much in the afternoon.


Tomorrow is also expected to be sunny and clear but hopefully with snow clouds moving in late on. Saturday is forecast to be borderline rain/snow, and obviously we want to avoid the former. Let's see.
