Posted on Saturday 19th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
We probably clocked up another 10-15cm of snow yesterday, but the clouds have moved on by this morning and we are left with lots of blue sky above Shiga Kogen and the sun is out doing it's thing. Lovely morning. Keeping nice and cold as well at the moment with a cold -10C outside at the moment. Let's hope it keeps that way.
Conditions really good for the weekend with the new snowfall we have had.
Forecast says chance of light snow today - seems unlikely with the skies as they are now but these things can quickly change - and then clear weather tomorrow.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:
Ichinose Family
Ichinose Diamond
