Welcome back to the Shiga Kogen Now reports.


Snow news this Saturday morning.


Yes, there's just over 12cm of snow 'piled up' outside my place this morning. Just a sprinkling in some areas (Hasuike roads) and perhaps a bit more than that in others.


Yokoteyama has turned on the snow machines too and busy making more.


There is no news on a planned opening date for Yokoteyama just yet, but it's exciting to get this first snow on the ground. And the promise that there might be some more through Monday. I'll keep you posted.


The section of Route 292 connecting Shiga Kogen with Gunma Prefecture will close for the winter at 1pm on Wednesday 15th November. The minor roads connecting Shiga Kogen with Nozawa Onsen and with Takayama Village have already closed.
