Posted on Tuesday 16th February 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Changing conditions!


Overnight wind and snow. Kumanoyu are reporting 20cm; Yakebitaiyama are reporting 10cm. I can report 14cm from my area not too affected by wind, though with the wind blowing it around there will be more and less in different places.


Wind might also be affecting various lifts this morning.


More snow due over the next few days but we'll need to keep our eye on the wind situation.
