Posted on Monday 28th December 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Just a bit of snowfall since my report yesterday as it eased off and no snowfall overnight. And this morning we have blue skies above Madarao with just a bit of cloud hanging on here and there.


More of the mountain is open with more lifts operating (see below) both at Madarao and Tangram. Still not fully open, but on the way. That should be helped along by some more fresh snowfall due tonight and hopefully into tomorrow morning with the next snow after that on New Years Eve. (Are we nearly there already?!)


The Madarao Kogen <> Tangram Ski Circus mountain connection and pass starts from today.


Nighta at Madarao due to start from tomorrow night.


Madarao Kogen lifts operating (planned at time of writing):

Number 2 quad

Super quad lift

Number 12 lift

Number 15 lift


Tangram Ski Circus lifts operating (planned at time of writing):


Number 1 pair
