Posted on Friday 1st April 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It has stopped now but we had some light snow falling earlier on this morning, and there's a thin layer of snow on the roads. Nice. Maybe a few cm in places. It might not be the last too, we'll have to see.
Just cloudy skies now and it might brighten up later in the day, but keep pretty cold.
For those of you visiting for the weekend, an early start tomorrow is recommended as it should be sunny from the start of the day and warm up (a bit) with the sun. Still, it feels like it is keeping relatively cold this year even as we enter the month of April.
The Maruike, Hasuike, Happo Bunadaira, Higashitateyama, Nishitateyama and Tannenomori Okujo ski areas are now closed for the season.
