Good morning from Madarao.


The ski area is reporting 0cm of snow, but there has been a dusting and I can spot snow hanging on the trees. Not much else to see though with some more early morning fog/cloudy conditions as the ski area opens.


We're probably going to get rain later today though, even if it will be snowing at higher elevations. With colder temps due over the weekend the chances of snow increase so we might get to enjoy some fresh conditions. Fingers crossed!


At Madarao, they now have Powder Theater and Powder Wave 2 tree runs as being closed - others remain open.
