Posted at 9:24am on Thursday 31st January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Lovely blue clear skies over Madarao Kogen this morning.


A cold start but it should warm up during the day today and just a slight wind. The next few days we are going to be venturing into 'unseasonably warm' territory, with the mercury rising above zero - and in the case of tomorrow and early Saturday potentially a fair bit above that level. Chance of rain as well. Please no!


For now though a fine day today I reckon. All of the resort is open as planned.
