Posted on Monday 10th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


The snow really turned on yesterday afternoon and this morning we are still in the middle of a very decent snow storm. It is coming down in style at the moment. Information from around the resorts this morning is... patchy... but while I can't see any big changes, this snowfall will definitely be a big help moving forward. There are actually seemingly fewer lifts operating this morning, partly due to it being an early season weekday perhaps and also because of the weather conditions, but early on it seems to be like this:


Sun Valley - 1 lift

Mammoth - 1 lifts

Ichinose Family - 1 lifts

Ichinose Diamond - 1 lift

Yakebitaiyama - 1 lifts

Kumanoyu - 1 lifts

Yokoteyama - 4 lifts


Resorts around the area reporting up to 40cm of new snow this morning, and I was seeing at least 30cm on the tops of cars. Visibility is poor this morning and the roads are covered in snow - care required both on the roads and on the slopes!
