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


New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 522cm

Posted on Tuesday 18th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


As the snow continues to fall here in Shiga Kogen.... the sun is taking a brief chance to make an appearance. Short lived perhaps, but also perhaps a sign that the current storm is on the way out. (There it goes back behind a cloud and again the snow is falling heavily).


There's still some winds about today, though not as much as yesterday. Still, limited visibility out on the slopes.


Clearer conditions should be up next, and we all hope of course that is keeps cold. Once the sun comes out it should be great to get out there.
