Morning from Madarao.


We are back to a more winter looking morning after that fine weather yesterday. It is snowing again this morning with a modest fresh layer out there. Maybe up to 10cm or so higher up? Snowfall is not due to last long today but should be back by tomorrow night and into Tuesday.


Looks like there's going to be quite a lot of sun (and mild temps) later in the coming week, so a decent amount of snow before them would be ideal.


Night skiing at Madarao again tonight from 4:30pm.
