Hello and a very good morning to you from Madarao.


Yes, I like a morning like this. One when I can report a decent amount of snowfall.


The resort is reporting 30cm of fresh snowfall since yesterday evening; I'm adding a little under that to my report.


Tangram Ski Circus is now also part open.


The snow has eased off and there is even a bit of sunshine appearing in places.


Operations are still limited, but conditions with this fresh snow should be fun and I feel that I need to go check them. In the name of research, of course.


The next snowfall we can expect is looking likely to be New Years Eve (Tuesday) onwards.

Madarao was planning on having nighta operations from today through Monday - that has been cancelled.
