Good morning Madarao fans.
As much as I wished I was in Madarao, I unfortunately have to be in Tokyo today. So this is a remote report coming to you with the help of my friend up there. I trust they are being 100% honest with me!
OK so it looks like the Super Quad lift still has a problem and will be closed for the day today too. The good lift people at Madarao are going to be giving it some tender loving care and a cup of cocoa tonight before bedtime, in the hope of getting it back operating from tomorrow.
In snow news, I'm being told 18cm of fresh since yesterday. (The resort is reporting 10cm since last night).
Visibility remains limited-poor as snow continues to fall. It is remaining cold too so conditions should be great.
There might be some sunshine and clearer skies on Friday.
