Posted on Sunday 10th December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


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


And we are now less than one week away from the planned opening of Madarao Kogen and connected Tangram Ski Circus. It's nearly here.


Some new snowfall since my last report that I am catching up on in this report (the day before yesterday), and the forecast shows snow from later on in the day yesterday through until Wednesday. Am I right in thinking it has been slightly 'downgraded'.... hmmm, let's see what we get.


I'll keep you updated.


Official opening dates:


Madarao Kogen:

Saturday 16th December 2017


Tangram Ski Circus:
