Posted on Wednesday 12th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It is a lovely morning here in Shiga Kogen with the sun shining down on us and everywhere looking all snowy white and extremely skiable/snowboardable! Things are still very quiet at this stage of the season and while the open runs are still limited and we are far from being fully connected up yet, it should be a fine day out on the slopes today.
It is a cold morning and will stay cold through tomorrow but come Friday and the weekend temperatures will probably rise somewhat - though still remain under 0 - and we will see more clearer skies. There's not much snow on the forecast into next week as it stands now.
I would expect more runs and lifts to be open for the weekend though, will let you know any news on that nearer the time.
Resort areas currently at least part open:
Sun Valley - 1 lift
Mammoth - 1 lifts
Ichinose Family - 3 lifts
Ichinose Diamond - 1 lift
Yakebitaiyama - 1 lifts
Okushiga Kogen - 2 lifts
Kumanoyu - 3 lifts
Yokoteyama - 5 lifts
