Morning from Shiga Kogen.
It's snowing and rather windy this morning. It feels like mid winter again... though we are due milder temperatures once again in the run up to the weekend. Up and down!
For now though, it's (very) limited visibility and windy cold conditions for those braving them; but new snow too.
Yakebitaiyama are reporting 20-30cm; Kumanoyu is reporting 15cm.
As for lift operations, there might be a few closures this morning due to the conditions. As is often the case with Shiga Kogen, the information is somewhat fragmented like parts of puzzle that needs to be put together, but I see that Okushiga have some lifts on hold though their gondola is operating. Be aware that some lifts might not be moving.
So tomorrow we'll probably be back to sunshine and clearer conditions. With the fresh snow, conditions should be excellent too.
