Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
The peak of that snow event has moved on and we are just cloudy this morning. Quite bright actually.
Okushiga Kogen is now part open and they have two lifts running this morning with an official snow depth of... 20cm (?). There's more than that, I am 100% sure!
Most of Kumanoyu is now open with their Number 1 pair lift now operating.
And Yakebitaiyama have their Number 2 gondola moving.
Other than that, ski area operations appear to be the same. I expect more to be open from tomorrow, but can't find any confirmed information to share with you right now.
It looks like we should be getting more snowfall from tonight and over the weekend. If you plan to be here, come prepared for snow and cold.
