Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 502cm

Posted on Monday 17th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's still snowing here and coming down pretty good too. It's not quite as whiteout conditions as over the weekend, but still visibility is limited and a wind blowing. Much more lifts open as well, though a few are closed as the resorts cope with the snowfall we have had. We appear to be on the tail end of this particular storm though and can expect some clearer skies tomorrow perhaps even sun. If so it will be a great day to be out on the slopes here.


Traffic problems and not very pleasant conditions during the weekend aside, in terms of snowfall mid-February has been very kind. I'm looking forward to getting out there to enjoy it.
