Posted on Tuesday 3rd January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


More fresh snow, with Madarao reporting 10cm. Tangram doesn't really talk about new snowfall, so that is why I don't mention numbers from them.


Visibility actually pretty decent as we near 8am and there's even some blue sky showing through on the Tangram side of the mountain.


There is more snow due over the next few days.


By the way, the top photo today is one posted by the ski area. We are show that with permission. It is important to note that, as with all Now daily reports on SnowJapan, the ski area has zero influence over the content of our reports.
