Posted at 8:42am on Thursday 28th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
Yesterday really warmed up. Too much for my liking, I had to take a few layers off.
The mild conditions are going to continue today and tomorrow. It's an almost spring like morning in Madarao. Lots of cloud hovering around the upper part of the mountain, but sun shining down and lots of blue sky above. That cloud is actually quickly moving on in the last 10 minutes or so.
Warmer still tomorrow (!) but hopefully we'll be on the receiving end of some fresh snow before lifts open on Saturday.
In a bit of resort news, the Tangram Number 2 lift will be closing after Sunday 3rd March. Seems rather early. But anyway, from the 4th the good folk using Madarao will be able to access Powder Wave II, Powder Line and Powder Theater via the (always exciting) Number 13 single lift and Adventure.
Lifts planned to be operating:
Number 1
Number 2
Number 3
Super quad
Number 5
Number 11
Number 12
Number 15
