Hello from Madarao.


We had some variable weather conditions yesterday in the end. Milder conditions through the day and some sleet/wet snow falling but later on that changed as we have a good 20cm of fresh snow on the ground. It is much colder again this morning and the snow quality looks pretty good to me... need to get out on the mountain to check it out. Oh the things I have to do to get this report done. Deary me.


6th January so lucky people who had a longer New Year holiday are surely at the end of that today. Some people will be making their way back today so I think it will be less busy as the day goes on. And from tomorrow of course it's a normal weekday.


Tuesday night into Wednesday is looking tasty. Heavy snow, oh yes. Over here, please!
