Posted on Friday 18th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from Shiga Kogen.


It's really coming down as I write this. Some heavy snow, bit windy and poor visibility.


These conditions are preventing some lifts from opening. Super care needed out there.


Kumanoyu are reporting 20-30cm.


This snow isn't actually expected to continue for too long during the day today and tomorrow should also be a break from the snow, but there's more potentially heavy snow on the forecasts for later Sunday through around Tuesday.


Got to get back out and deal with all this...
