Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
It might be raining down in the valley and on the route up to Shiga Kogen but as you get up past Sun Valley and higher... it is snowing.
Both Kumanoyu and Yakebitaiyama are this morning 10cm of fresh snowfall this morning (and I agree). A bit wet at base and better quality up top (according to Yakebitaiyama). Sounds like some checking is required.
We should be getting a bit of snow at times over the coming week.
It's hard to believe it is already 8 years since that gigantic Tohoku earthquake event.
A moments pause to think about all of that and everyone (still) affected, and to be thankful for the fun we can enjoy.
