Posted at 8:02am on Saturday 29th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
There has been more snow at Madarao overnight, resort reporting 15-25cm on the mountain. It is a relatively mild morning and will be all weekend.
The visibility isn't poor at the moment, but once the fog lifts, it will be game on for a great powder day. Clearer weather is actually forecast for the day. The powder is a little heavier than perfect, but great really for this time of the year.
Today also brings the opening of Madarao's new tree run called "Powder Theater". So you can not only get first tracks, but 'first ever' tracks. Something to tick off the old bucket list. First ever tracks. Check! All of the other tree runs are now open too.
Nighta from tonight as well.
A good chance of rain (please no!) tomorrow before it turns (hopefully quickly) into snowfall.
