A dusting+ since the last report, but there is some updated news to report... unfortunately it is about delayed openings.
Yokoteyama has delayed opening until 22nd November. They originally wanted to open on 8th November and initially delayed to 15th November. That is now not possible. 22nd is the new target.
Kumanoyu has delayed opening, with no specific new target. Basically they will open as soon as possible.
It does look like we should be getting a cold front and snow early next week.
The section of road (Route 292) connecting Shiga Kogen with Kusatsu in Gunma Prefecture is now officially closed for the winter.
