Posted on Saturday 28th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Madarao.


We had some glimpses of sun yesterday morning but snow started piling up again around lunchtime and I have measured 17cm since then. (The ski area is only reporting 10cm this morning). No complaints!


We expect more snow today and at the moment it is light with fairly good visibility. (I can actually see some blue sky on the Tangram webcam).


It's staying good and cold, so there should be some very nice conditions to enjoy this morning. And this afternoon!


Night skiing tonight at both Madarao and Tangram, through until 4th January.
