Posted on Monday 8th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
What a beautiful morning it is. I'm always in awe of the 360 degree scenery from up here when it's like this in particular so really looking forward to getting one of the first lifts up this morning.
There was just a bit more snow since the report yesterday before the clouds cleared up and clear up they have. It's blue skies all around. It's also a cold morning with the resort reporting -9 degrees! Not much warmer here where I am either just a bit lower than base.
Snowfall is still expected to be with us tomorrow and perhaps heavy snow as well at times especially towards tomorrow night.
Later in the week and Saturday it looks like there's a worrying rise in temperatures and rain expected even on the mountain. If that's the case, the time to be here is today and tomorrow (if you like riding in the snow) and Wednesday if you like it once the snow clouds have cleared!
