Posted at 8:35am on Sunday 20th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
It is still snowing in Madarao. Another 10cm centimeters or so fell overnight to keep topping up the powder bank with the resort reporting 20cm of freshies this morning. It isn't as deep as the previous few days but there is still plenty of fun to be had.
Today there is also an event at Madarao. Powder Wave Sessions starts at 11am and involves a lot of professional and semi-professionals skiers bashing there way through a narrow tree course. Should be good to watch.
The weather is tipped to clear up later, but it is still snowy and overcast here at the moment.
Powder Wave I is back open again from today.
