Hello from Madarao.


It's really snowing hard as I write this. Coming down fast and visibility is suitably poor too because of it. Cold too. Care really needed in these conditions.


The ski area is this morning reporting 40cm of new snowfall (at 8am) as the official snow depth rises to 400cm. I've just measured 46cm.... and counting. I'm going to have another big number to report tomorrow morning too.


Some lifts are delayed opening this morning as the ski areas deal with the heavy snowfall. Talking of which, I've got some of that dealing to do myself.
