That's it folks.


It is Sunday 1st April and today is the last day of the ski season here at Madarao. And as with much of March, we are ending the season with fine spring-like weather. Some thin cloud around and hazy in some directions but another sunny day is on the cards.


Nearby Nozawa Onsen remains open until 6th May and a few of the resorts in Myoko are also going to be open beyond tomorrow. There's also the ski resorts in Shiga Kogen that are planning to be open into May.


Remember, you can re-live the season (and indeed other seasons) by checking out the archive reports - you can get to those from the links towards the bottom of this page.


The Madarao Now reports will be back in November - in the meantime enjoy exploring SnowJapan and have a good summer.


Thank you for reading.
