Posted on Sunday 16th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It all looks a bit limited in Shiga Kogen this morning. Strong winds, heavy snow and poor visibility have a fair few lifts closed. For those who manage to get here (transportation network problems!), there's not much choice and honestly you would have to be really keen. I think that an onsen is probably a good idea this morning as there's close to zero visibility out there and not nice.
The only lifts moving - as far as the official site updates tell me anyway - are a few at Sun Valley, Tannenomori and Yakebitaiyama (though some of that info might not be the latest as they don't seem to update it real time.
Can't say we were expecting such a huge storm. Though it has been bringing us lots of new snow which once things have settled should be good to enjoy.
