Good morning from here in Madarao.


And here we go, the first cm of snow to report from base. A nice decent layer of fresh snow on the ground this morning with everywhere looking good and white. Love it. There's lots of cloud around at the moment, not snowing just now and even a bit of sunshine at times. More snow is forecast through tomorrow though.


Can't quite believe that we are still over three weeks off the planned opening date, but early snow is always exciting and a good sign. Let's hope there will be a fair few more snowfalls in the coming weeks.


I will keep you posted!
