Posted on Sunday 14th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


It's a beautiful (and cold) early morning across northern Nagano.


What makes that even greater is that we had good fresh snow before it, so today should be a whole lot of fun for anyone lucky enough to be here.


The Crystal Bowl and Rabbit tree runs are open at Madarao, too. Yey.


Even better is that there is more heavy snow due into tomorrow through Tuesday. Two days of consistent snow would be perfect.


Happy Sunday!
