Morning from Madarao.


After all that snow.... the sun is out early this morning! It's a cold start with blue skies. The mountain is looking beautiful and very tempting.


We might have more cloud around tomorrow but it should remain calm. There's not a whole lot of snow on the forecast for the coming week. Thankfully it does not look like it is going to be warming up, so fingers crossed it remains cold. Let's see.


Both Madarao and Tangram are going to be open as planned.
