Posted on Saturday 28th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
Quite wild conditions in the later part of yesterday with strong winds blowing around the snow that was falling. One of those days when it's difficult to put a number on it - the resort says 10-20cm, the snow around my place says around 15cm. Lots of windblown so it'll be more or less depending on where you are.
Colder this morning too so hopefully there'll be some decent conditions this morning. Cloudy but feels like it might clear up more. More snow due later on tomorrow, hopefully avoiding rain that is also possible certainly at lower elevations.
A few tanoshii events going on tonight... a screen made from snow (!) has been made on which to show some short films. I'm as curious as you are probably reading that! That'll be near the entrance to the skijo by the Madarao Kogen Hotel. And after nighta there's going to be some fireworks as well.
