Posted on Monday 15th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


This morning it kind of feels like we have, at last, entered 'mid-winter'. It's cold, it's snowy, it's quite windy. Visibility is limited. (All after that fine day yesterday too).


I am posting this from Okushiga Kogen this morning and it is really coming down hard and fast as of 9am.


It took time to get going overnight so there hasn't been huge numbers yet, but there's more snow forecast through tomorrow. Lots more please...
