Morning from Madarao.


Excellent. Snow!


The resort this morning is reporting 25cm of fresh snowfall this morning and increasing their snow depth by 20cm, I can confirm a similar amount and it is due to be snowing all day.


Limited visibility today likely but I think there will be quite a few people who won't be bothered by that and want to hit that fresh.


More! More! More! More! I'm starting a chant...
