Posted on Monday 16th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


We do have some fresh snow this morning. Just a modest amount - Yakebitaiyama are reporting 5cm. That's not enough for a full reset, so it's a few cm on the hard surfaces.


We do expect some more snow during the day today. Probably modest amounts.


It is colder again now, so that is something of a relief, though still not usual mid-January cold.
