Posted on Thursday 20th December 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Last night lower areas got rained on but up here we got some snow and I am measuring 7cm to add to my report this morning.


There is still cloud around but more blue sky appearing..


Still just the two lifts operating at Madarao with more planned to open up from Saturday, as outlined below.


Warmer conditions still likely to continue through the weekend with a return to snow around Monday.


Nighta floodlit operations on 22nd and 23rd December.

The resort has announced that more will be open from this Saturday. And here is their cunning plan:


Number 1 lift

Number 2 quad lift

Super quad lift

Number 11 lift

Number 12 lift

Number 15 lift

Crystal course connecting moving walkway


More terrain will be available, though the tree run areas will not be open -- more snow needed for those.


The Mountain Pass (joint with connecting Tangram Ski Circus) will also be available from Saturday and all of the lifts at Tangram should also be spinning from Saturday.
