Ah nice and cold again this morning. We can save mild and warm until May, for now we want cold!


10cm or so of new snowfall to report from around Shiga Kogen this morning and I expect a bit more in some places.


Right now it is generally just cloudy, perhaps light snow still falling in places, all silver/grey out there. Fairly calm and good visibility.


Tomorrow might start off clearer but snow is forecast for later. After that, fresh topups due before the weekend as well and it will stay cold.


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