Good morning from Madarao.


The resort reporting just 20cm of snow but I have measured more than that since yesterday.


From this morning all of the lifts are planned to be operating at both Madarao and Tangram - so apart from tree run courses the mountain is pretty much open now. :)


The clouds have been clearing and there is lots of blue sky around now and the sun shining down on the mountain. It looks like a picture postcard.


A break in the snowfall for the next day or two, with some serious snow due in the run up to the New Year.
