Good morning from Madarao.


Well, yesterday it started snowing before lunch and it quickly started to accumulate and I have measured another 22cm. Nice.


And this morning there are some bright blue skies to enjoy.


Oh yes! More lifts are Madarao are open this morning. Kids Park, too. Check out the list below.


It has been a fine start to the season, and there's some heavy snow on the horizon (late Saturday through Monday) which should really get us into full gear by Christmas.


We are all thankful and appropriately very pleased.
