Posted on Sunday 1st March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
Morning from Madarao.
There was an avalanche yesterday at around 2pm within the ski area and five people had to be rescued. From what I hear (which is not detailed), any injuries are not life-threatening which is at least good to hear. Best thoughts to the people involved.
Due to this incident, a few lifts and runs are not available today (and possibly beyond) and I have tried to reflect that in the list below.
This morning weather has improved. It is clearer and what feels like an increasing amount of blue sky. We expect good weather today.
Tomorrow might be more cloudy and then is that fresh snow for Tuesday? Please.
