Posted on Sunday 8th March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Morning from Madarao.


The ski area isn't reporting any cm of snowfall since yesterday. I'm not sure I'd agree with that and I have measured 3cm. It's definitely colder, too.


Visibility looks fairly decent right now and it is clearer on the Tangram side. (That seems to happen a lot, doesn't it).


Maybe clearer skies tomorrow but we might get some more snow falling around Tuesday.
