Posted on Thursday 9th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


It's not that cold this morning but there's 15cm or so of new snow to report. On the mountain the resort is reporting up to 30cm in places - actually over 30cm in places - so a decent overnight and start to the day meaning we can forget the wet conditions we had for a time yesterday because they don't matter anymore!


Visibility not so good as the mountain is covered in cloud and it continues to snow. Should to at least into tomorrow.


Go out prepared and some fine conditions should be found.
