Posted on Monday 23rd January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
Yesterday was a lovely day and lots of people turning up to join in the fun.
Clouds moved in and this morning we are treated to a fresh layer of snow on the ground. I am measuring 18cm; the resort is reporting 20cm.
And quality snow is coming down from the skies now as well, with the forecast for it to keep on falling through today and tomorrow. Maybe we shouldn't expect as much (as today) in my report tomorrow morning, but let's see what nature actually brings us.
The weekend crowds are gone now and it's much quieter. Fab conditions to enjoy for the lucky ones here at the moment.
