Posted on Monday 18th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


A mild start to the day here in Shiga Kogen. The snow did clear up yesterday and all told we just have a thin layer of snow since the report posted yesterday. We are back to snow though and it is coming down quite nicely here in Maruike as I write this. More likely to continue today than it was yesterday as well so hopefully I'll bring news of new cm tomorrow morning.


Back to cold later on today and from tomorrow too.


Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas, depending on weather:
