Hello from Madarao.


This morning we have a layer of snow on the ground. Not a huge amount, but up to 5cm so far with more due today, tonight and hopefully into tomorrow too.


All of the tree run courses apart from SAWA and Kamoshika now appear to be open. Yey!


For many people today marks a return to work, so there will be less people around. The New Year felt almost normal with quite a lot of people around.
