Hello and good morning from a snowy Madarao.
With one week left to go before the resort officially opens for the 16-17 season, I'm happy to report the best part of 20cm of fresh snow since yesterday and the resort itself is reporting 20-30cm of fresh. Everywhere is looking good and white and the snow continues to fall and hopefully will into tomorrow as well.
The forecast for the coming week is a break in the snow clouds on Monday and milder conditions on Tuesday, to be followed by more snow mid week.
Things are looking good for opening next Saturday.
The official opening date for Madarao Kogen this season is Saturday 17th December.
