Posted on Thursday 11th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It's the calm after the storm this morning here in Shiga Kogen.
With another 25+cm of snow to report since yesterday, it's a close to perfect morning to be strapping on the board(s).
What more can I say? (Other than once again the snow depths at the resorts aren't budging much. Just ignore that!)
Oh yes the other thing is about the forecast which I mentioned yesterday. It's still looking like we might get some rain up here even on Saturday but hopefully it will be turning into snow on Sunday.
One of those times when we just want the forecast to be wrong.
I'll let you know. In the meantime, a fine day to be here today - and lots of people coming up to enjoy the holiday (it's a national holiday).
