Morning from Madarao.


It's snowing again! Nice to see fresh snow after the, er, generally less than nice weather yesterday. Not a huge amount the resort is reporting 5cm and I can add 4cm to my reports.


It looks like most of the tree run courses are closed this morning, according to the official website at the time of this report going up.


Come tomorrow, the weather should be much more settled. And as we have been seeing on the forecast this week --- warm. Temperatures may well rise into double digits especially come Sunday.


Oh yes, and back to cold early next week.
