Posted on Sunday 17th December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Lots of fresh snow to report this morning.


And some really cold conditions too - with heavy snow falling as I write this.


There's a decent chance of sun tomorrow, so I'm personally looking forward to greeting this fresh snow then!
