Independent snow and weather reporting from the Madarao region of Nagano

Snowfall at base this season 116cm

Posted on Monday 22nd December 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Hello from Madarao.


Well, after the rain we have a bit of snow. The ski area is reporting about 5cm, and I have measured slightly under 4cm. Not a huge amount, but better than rain.


It's probably going to be icy out there and remember, Madarao is currently all ungroomed.


So, yeah, the ski areas are open but we need lots of fresh.


Friday is currently looking like the best bet for a situation-changing amount of fresh.


Fingers crossed everyone.
