Posted on Thursday 21st January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Madarao was able to mostly open up during the day after that windy start.


And there's lots more snow to report this morning after that snowy day and overnight - the resort is reporting 30cm of fresh and there was a good 25cm of fresh snow on the top of my car and in my back yard this morning. Yey!


Best conditions of the season so far to be had right now. Oh yes.


And... while not much snow expected now over the next few days, another dump is forecast for later on Saturday through Sunday.
