Morning from Shiga Kogen.

And early morning there is light snow falling here, though not enough to give us any new fresh cm on the ground. Perhaps a little in higher areas.

From tomorrow and into next week it looks like we can expect sun, sun and more sun. And perhaps some more sun with a bit of cloud here and there. But mostly sun! Along with rising temperatures especially from around Monday. There's a good chance this snow that is falling is the last we will see this season...

Anyway it should be really nice 'spring ski' conditions from the weekend, and of course next week is the last week of the season for a handful of the resort areas of Shiga Kogen.

'Planned closing dates' information for resorts in Shiga Kogen. Basically:

- all ski areas in Shiga Kogen plan to be at least part open until the end of March;
- a bunch of resorts will be open on specific dates (usually weekends and Golden Week) once we get into April;
- the remaining resorts will be open daily until 6th May and beyond that (they will close when there's not enough snow left to ski or board!)

Once we get to the end of March, I will add specific lift operation plans for the ski resorts that remain open during the months of April and May.
