Good morning from Madarao.


Around 10-15cm of fresh snow on the ground and it is a cold and grey morning with a bank of cloud currently covering the top of the mountain. Snow is forecast for the day with that heavy snow we have been expecting later on.


All lifts plan to be open for the weekend and nighta tonight (though the resort are warning that there is a chance it might not happen if the weather gets a bit mad tonight... will depend).


See you tomorrow. Hopefully I might have to dig myself out.
