Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
Today is going to be the last day of operations for the Shibutoge pair lift.
And there is word around that Sunday will be the last day for the Yokoteyama lift. However, I can't find any official confirmation on the ski area website. So I can't confirm that. Perhaps it's a secret!
We're expecting calm and mostly clear weather from tomorrow through Sunday.
I'll post my (probably) last report on Sunday.
