Loads of snow. This is more like classic Madarao. The resort are reporting a full 50cm and my measurement if not far off that.


And it is still coming down with snow clouds still due over the region for the coming days.


It's really cold too and somewhat windy.


If you are going to tackle these conditions; be prepared. Extra layers, a friend, and I highly recommend sticking to well used areas.


It'll be powder everywhere - no need to stray far. And I suspect there is a chance of some courses/lifts unavailable - check with the resort for latest.


Take care and see you tomorrow.
