A very good morning to you from Madarao.


The sun is out!


Yes, the snow clouds have at last cleared (not that I didn't like them of course) and it looks like we are on for a top notch Sunday.


Increasingly blue sky with some cloud with the sun shining down on the main slope area as I write this.


I know where I'm heading this morning... and so should you too! It's still very cold so wrap up well and enjoy.
