Forgive me if my reports are a little later over the next couple of days - it's a rather busy time of year with many promises to keep.

Not a whole lot more fresh snow to report this morning but the big news is that there will be more tree run courses available from today which is great to see.

This winter storm is still over the region and providing us with further snow. The resort is reporting 30cm of fresh snow; I am measuring 36cm.

Wow, it really is snowing big time at the moment.

The resort is reporting 11cm of fresh snowfall this morning, I am measuring a little less but still good to see a new layer.

It's a cold and very sunny morning once again here in Madarao.

It's a stunning morning. Amazing. Blue skies, fresh snow.

Couldn't be much better news this morning on the second day of the season with a good 24cm of fresh snowfall to report, and the resort themselves reporting 30cm on the slopes.

8cm from yesterday that I hadn't reported yet and another 41cm this morning. So 49cm is going on the report this morning.

6cm more snow folks and it's snowing.

It is a beautiful Sunday morning here in Madarao and going to be a relatively mild one.

More snowfall so another update as we get closer to the opening date - a week on Saturday.

Quick update with a bit more snowfall on the ground.
