Good morning from Madarao.


There's some sun shining down on the mountain as I look out on it now. With the 'fresh snow' look thing going on and the sun, it looks beautiful.


Madarao is reporting 10cm of fresh this morning and I have measured around that amount, as the official snow depth nudges up towards 2m.


We can expect a few days of these clearer skies before the next snow moving in late week.


We should be seeing more lifts and runs opening up soon, though I don't have any confirmed info to share with you just yet.
