Posted on Thursday 19th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


As I write this report the sun is shining down on lots of the resort, but there's also quite a bit of cloud around the summit. Just a bit of snow since yesterday (and 5cm reported by the resort) but a bit on the wet side - certainly not as light and fluffy as we know it can be.


Temps remain below zero now but it's going to get milder again during the day.


Hoping for snow later today and overnight to let me give you some nice news tomorrow.


A good refresh would be just the ticket especially with the warmth that seems inevitable over the coming weekend.


Happy Chinese New Year!
