Posted on Friday 19th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Yesterday we got that light snow, though it was sleet/rain at times in some of the lower areas.


Today started with lots of cloud but it has been gradually clearing and while there's still a fair amount of cloud around, it's sunny in places. Check the images below to get an idea. The gradual clearing might continue.


The Number 1 gondola at Yakebitaiyama is experiencing some issues this morning and will be closed at the start of the day.


We might receive fresh snow later tomorrow and into Sunday and then again around the middle of next week.
