Posted at 8:39am on Sunday 27th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


We got powder this morning. The resort is reporting 30-40cm on the slopes this morning and definitely a fair amount underfoot at base as well. A temperature of -8C and light snow was still falling but just before the sun was shining through some clouds over Madarao. While the sun has popped back behind the clouds now it does somehow feel that clear up may be on the way and the forecast does say that should be the case.


After this snow clears up, not a whole lot forecast in the coming week as it stands - but lots of fresh to play in this morning. It should be quite busy today.


All of the resort should be open this morning, and conditions should be great.
