Posted on Sunday 18th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning, and it's a cold one. But the peak of the snow and windy conditions we had yesterday has passed and there's now blue sky over me and the sun is shining through my window.


Time to get out I think! Should be a good one.


Looks like wind is affecting some lifts at a few places this morning (Ichinose Diamond, Okushiga Kogen and Yokoteyama) but conditions are improving and I would expect them to get moving soon enough.


More snow on the forecast for tomorrow.
