A very snowy morning to you from Madarao.
8cm from yesterday that I hadn't reported yet and another 41cm this morning. So 49cm is going on the report this morning.
The snow should ease off this afternoon and we should be enjoying clearer skies tomorrow. Then snow is due back over the weekend.
Things are feeling really (really) good for the beginning of the season. Just two more days to go before the lifts start moving at both Madarao Kogen and connected Tangram Ski Circus - and the resort has announced that opening will go ahead as planned on Saturday.
And here are the details:
8:30am until 5:00pm
Lifts:
Number 1 lift
Number 2 quad lift
Courses
Paradise
Beginners B
Utopia
Giant (lower)
Curving

Lower lift ticket prices for opening until 22nd December.
Yey!
