Hello and welcome to the start of what looks like should be a very snowy week.


Absolutely tons of snow this morning. The resort seems to be reporting 60cm on social media and 40cm on their official website. Personally I have measured 48cm; there will be different amounts wherever you measure this morning. It's one of them. But wherever you look, there's a lot of snow. And it is still snowing. Yes!


There's more due this week too, perhaps in an on-off kind of pattern. That sounds fine to me, keep on bringing it in.


Looks like the 3A lift at Madarao is closed but others should be operating.
