Morning from Madarao.


Loads of fresh snow this morning! :)


I'd say close on half a metre in places. Wind has been a factor, blowing it around in these mid-winter conditions.


Right now there's actually a bit of sun trying to make an appearance through the clouds, so things for the moment feel a little calmer.


The Free Ride Park is closed this morning by the looks of things due to the heavy snowfall. Once it's open again, be sure to check out the new 'BANK LINE' features in there.
