Good morning from Madarao.


So here we are. It's Sunday 3rd April and the last day of the 2021-2022 season for both Madarao Mountain Resort and the connecting Tangram Ski Circus. The day is starting with blue skies across the region, with clouds due to move in later on.


My total observed snowfall over my reports this season is 1061cm. That is the biggest season total number since the observed snowfall numbers started being recorded in 2012. The world around us might be bonkers in what seems like ever increasing ways, but we certainly enjoyed some excellent snowfall this season - as did much of Japan. Check out the details on the other pages of this report.


Who knows what will happen over the next six months. Obviously, in terms of the next winter season, we are all hoping that Japan will be open to tourists in time. There's no news on that front at the moment, so all we can do is keep our fingers crossed.


Wherever you are in the world, thanks for reading, take care and see you later in the year when the reports for the 2022-2023 season start.
