The Rebirth of Madarao.

 Madarao has been a renowned powder spot in the ski and snowboard community in Japan over the years. Madarao Mountain Ski Resort has over 45 trails, unlimited powder, amazing tree skiing, awesome back country and no lift lines. But the secret is slowly getting out about the 'mada-pow' and inbound tourism is driving a renaissance of the town. We are all still all about the powder though at Madarao!

​With a laid back little community, funky bars and restaurants and cheaper tickets and accommodation, Madarao Mountain Ski Resort was rated by the Powderhounds website as being the best value place to ski in Japan, as well as having the best advanced terrain. So come and ski where the locals go!

TESTIMONIAL

"The best value for money ski resort in Japan...

​Madarao Mountain Resort has excellent ingredients as a powder skiing destination. The area is renowned for average snowfalls in the realm of 10 to 13 metres per season, there is some good tree skiing and reasonably steep bowls, and off-piste skiing is permitted. Madarao is still somewhat of an undiscovered treasure but it's quickly gaining in popularity" - Powderhounds
