Welcome back and morning from Shiga Kogen.


I have fresh snowfall to report, and it's all around too - not just on the upper mountains.


There's 5cm outside my place and more than that in some places. Nice.


Yokoteyama is part open for those needing a super early fix.


Kumanoyu has 19th November as a planned opening date. There's not enough snow right now and we are expecting some clearer skies for a few days beyond today, so we can expect a delay there.
