Morning from Shiga Kogen.


Well, it's colder this morning that's for sure, and just 2-3cm of fresh snow fallen overnight. A dusting of snow down to the lower Yamanouchi valley area too. Was hoping for more and it sounded like we might get more with the blowy conditions last night.


Some more snow forecast for tomorrow night but before then we'll probably see sunny skies and perhaps after as well as we enter next week.


These areas are currently part open:


- Ichinose Family: Number 2 pair lift A line operating

- Ichinose Diamond: Diamond quad lift

- Kumanoyu: Number 2 pair lift A & B line operating

- Takamagahara Mammoth: Number 2 triple and Number 3 pair lifts operating

- Yakebitaiyama: Number 4 romance lift

- Yokoteyama: Number 1 Sky A line and Number 5 lift operating


Other areas of Shiga Kogen are waiting for more snow.
