Hello everyone! It's good to be back.
I spent a fair bit of time in Toyko over the summer months... my oh my, it was hot. It always is very hot in summer of course, but it was particularly hot this year. I was jealous of people up here in Madarao where life is much more comfortable.
Autumn has been lovely too. Beautiful colours and comfortable temperatures - though it has been unseasonably mild for November so far.
So here we are in the middle of November. It is now one month before both Madarao and Tangram Ski Circus plan to open... the planned opening date is Saturday 15th December 2018. Right now the mountain is bare but by then there is often a nice base to get things going nicely from the first day of the season.
Nearby Nozawa Onsen and parts of Shiga Kogen plan be open as soon after 23rd November as is possible, so if the snow comes and you want to slide before coming up to Madarao...
I'll post some more reports here before the season starts with snow news. And then of course go to daily once the resorts open.
