Good morning from Madarao.


Yep, more snow. Let's try to not get bored with it. ;)


Madarao is reporting 15cm.


All courses available.


It is quieter than what we expect for the New Year... this is usually one of the busiest times of the season.


For those who are here, missing friends aside, couldn't ask for much more in terms of the snow.


For those of you who aren't, feel for you. But isn't it great to get back to what feels more like a normal season of consistent snowfall.
