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


A little bit more snow since last night - there's just over 1cm on the top of my car outside this morning. Not enough to make conditions 'deep' of course, but good to see all the same and hopefully maybe a little more on the mountain.


It's a cold morning as well which is most welcome. From where I am there's a big thick bank of cloud covering the top half of the mountain, but we might even get to see a bit of sunshine later on in the day.


Last day of the long weekend today, so it'll be busier than a normal late season Monday out there.


Sun is expected tomorrow and then look for the chance of some fresh snow again in the later part of the week.
