Posted on Friday 22nd January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Not really much to report in terms of new snowfall since yesterdays report, just a dusting I would say but this morning light snow continues to fall. Visibility is generally pretty good at the moment though with just the very top of the mountain covered with cloud.


Not much snow is expected today, just light snow at times, but heavy snow is expected over the weekend. Timing for that would seem to be later on tomorrow (night) and through Sunday maybe into Monday as well. It might get windy on Sunday as well.


Fingers crossed we do get that 'heavy snow'. Would be great to get the other Tree Runs open at Madarao.


I see that they were doing a 'renew' of the park at Madarao last night and apparently there's two new kickers (5m and 3m) as well as a wide box.
