Greetings from Shiga Kogen.
It's the last day of the long weekend and those who stuck around will feel very fortunate.
Since yesterday, Yakebitaiyama and Kumanoyu are both reporting 50cm of fresh snowfall, which Okushiga Kogen reports 60cm.
Very nice numbers to see, though the official snow depth numbers have hardly changed!
This morning we have less wind and some blue skies too, so conditions should be excellent.
