Change again this morning as Shiga Kogen is covered with cloud and we have perhaps around 5cm of new snowfall in places. Visibility is ok out there generally, it's just one of those silver.grey days. Just a slight wind.
Tomorrow the forecast is for very cold temps dipping down to perhaps as low as minus 20 on the mountain along with more snow and a good chance of strong winds as well. Once we get into the weekend though fine conditions are probable and set to continue into the week as well.
