Morning from Shiga Kogen.
I enjoyed a great half-day yesterday. The sun was out and there were some fine snow conditions to be found as well. We're still early season low on snow of course, but there was some real fun to be had.
From early this morning the snow has returned and already there's decent cm piling up, and it's coming down in style as well just at the moment. Well it was when I first started writing this report, it has eased off a bit right now. But... snow forecast for the day so fingers crossed we're on for some decent numbers before the weekend.
I don't have any inside info to share but especially if we can get some more decent snow falling today I would think that there'll be more lifts operating and courses open from tomorrow.
Areas of Shiga Kogen currently open:
Ichinose Family
The Number 2 pair A and B lifts are operating with 600m of course open.
Kumanoyu
The Number 1 and Number 2 lifts are operating.
