Posted on Saturday 3rd January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
Trying to avoid obviously hype-like adjectives but really what more could we want than yet another 40+cm of snowfall.
The resort this morning is clocking in another 40-50cm and once again yes that's pretty much how much I need to be clearing off once again this morning. Not complaining!
It's keeping suitably cold.
What more can I say. Top conditions for those lucky enough to be here. Lots of cloud but even a small break in them just before with some sun - clouded over again now. The forecast though is for clearing rather than continued snow and I think we'll get more sun than snow over the next few days and it shouldn't be as cold either.
Quite busy as you might expect, though I would guess that tomorrow will be less so with people heading back to reality after their new year hols.
Tonight is the last nighta of the New Year holidays... after today it's Saturdays until 21st March as well as 11th January.
