Morning all.


There's not a huge amount of snow since my last report, though more than the 0cm that the resort seems to be reporting this morning.


But still we have had some good snowfall over the last few days so there are very good conditions out there. Good in time for the upcoming weekend.


Generally cloudy this morning but may we see sunshine today?


The 'Madarao Fire Festival' is coming up soon... on Saturday 13th January.
