It has turned into a beautiful morning.

Light snow falling early this morning here in Madarao though it is expected to be clearer during the day today.

32cm is what my now-not-long-enough ruler is telling me this morning.

Just a bit of snowfall since my report yesterday as it eased off and no snowfall overnight. And this morning we have blue skies above Madarao with just a bit of cloud hanging on here and there.

It actually feels like winter this morning. And we haven't been able to say that much so far this December.

Madarao have suddenly decided to open this morning. The 15-20cm of snow on the slopes since last night no doubt helped, and it was actually more than they were expecting.

Not nice weather yesterday (wet) but some snow overnight and the forecast is still giving us snow from Friday.

Madarao Open! And it's a lovely morning for it.

Madarao Kogen will be opening from tomorrow (Sunday).

5-10cm of snow overnight and Madarao have announced that there just isn't enough for a safe opening today.

It is snowing, but difficult to make a decision apparently and Madarao Kogen have said that they will decide whether they can open tomorrow morning at around 7am.

Good morning as we fast approach the planned opening date of the season for the Madarao Kogen and Tangram Ski Circus resorts.

Madarao Kogen is planning to open on Friday 18th December, so we are now just over 2 weeks away from opening.
