Hello from Madarao.


Lots of snow again this morning. The resort reporting 20cm; I am measuring 26cm. It's cold and the snow is really great quality. It's being blown around somewhat and conditions aren't for everyone (clearer sky lovers will have enjoyed yesterday morning), but we can't be complaining about snow.


And looking towards Saturday is looking pretty exciting too. Heavy snowfall, says the forecasts. Just how much? Looking forward to finding out.


If you do venture out, take care. Visibility is very limited and you need to be knowing where you're going and best to be with someone.
