Snowfall at base this season 52cm

Posted on Thursday 14th December 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Just a few cm+ to add to the reports.


This morning the sun is out and after a cold night it is getting to be quite mild.


We really need snow for more to open and it is still due around Sunday. Before that, though, there's a good chance we'll have to put up with rain before then tomorrow and into Saturday.


Let's hope Sunday really delivers.
