Hello from Madarao.
A little more snow since yesterday, but nothing significant... not the kind that gave us new cm. I hope to be able to bring snowier news tomorrow morning.
As I'm putting this report together, there is a bit of a break in the mostly cloudy skies and the sun peeking through. (And more blue sky over on the Tangram side by the looks).
But we do expect more snow.
That Number 1C lift is still down due to some kind of mechanical problem, and may be down for a while. The B line (pair lift) is still moving.
