Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 7cm

Posted on Thursday 1st December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Some light snow to report this morning giving everywhere a 'just about' white look, with maybe a few cm or more higher up.


The road outside my place is already clear and dry, though, and it is just cloudy for the moment.


It's fairly cold too, so various snow making machines are up early and working hard.


Yokoteyama appears to be planning on re-opening from 1pm today.


Kumanoyu are making snow this morning too and saying that they will open 'at the earliest' on Saturday. If things go well and subject to change, of course.
