Season in!


First day of the season proper at Madarao Kogen.


10-15cm of fresh snow overnight as well to help celebrate, though officially base is around 60cm. So not mad deep yet but that's to come. Remember last season when we were getting huge amounts on what seemed like a daily basis for a while. Would be good to get more of that this year.
