Good morning from Madarao.


Well, the snow clouds have moved on leaving us with some stunning blue skies over the region this morning.


Madarao have been busy preparing and today opening more lifts and courses which is good to see; from what I can tell operations at Tangram remains unchanged this morning.


We might have to deal with a bit of rain later tomorrow before it changes to snow and then hopefully we'll have a pleasing end to the year and start to the new one (ie. snow!)


For the moment, it's one of those mornings when you just need to get out and about.
