Morning from Shiga Kogen.
A good new layer of fresh snow this morning as it continues to fall here in the Maruike area of Shiga Kogen.
It's cold and it's snowy and generally limited visibility out there too... though I see some clearer conditions just at the moment over in the Kumanoyu area.
Snow should be falling for the day as well and through tomorrow.
Currently the following areas of Shiga Kogen are part open:
- Ichinose Family
- Takamagahara Mammoth
- Yakebitaiyama
- Okushiga Kogen
- Kumanoyu
- Yokoteyama
None of the above resorts are 'linked up'/connected.
