Good morning from Madarao.


A bit of left-overs since my last report (and no fresh overnight) but this morning there are lovely blue skies above our mountain as the weekend gets started.


It's due to be a relatively mild weekend (cold start) and before the snow comes back from tomorrow there might even be some drops of rain, but lets hope we can avoid that. Should last long anyway as we are set to see some good snow into Monday and beyond in the coming week. The forecast is looking nice and juicy (hopefully in a nice and light kind of way!)


Nighta tonight!
