Posted on Sunday 10th January 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


It is really coming down at the moment. Cold. Lovely quality snow, and about 22cm of it and counting just measured.


Yakebitaiyama were reporting 10cm of it and Kumanoyu 20cm, as of 7am. Will be more than that now with the rate it is coming down.


I see that Kumanoyu seem to have shortened their operating hours slightly, due to the coronavirus situation. I'm no expert but I can't see how doing that changes much, but... I have not been able to check all of them but there might be similar small changes going on. If I hear of any I will let you know.
