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


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 25cm

Posted on Sunday 1st December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's a cloudy morning after some light snow falling early on.


Just a bit of advance warning... I need to be away from Shiga Kogen for a few days from tomorrow, so the next report will be Wednesday or Thursday.


Forecasts say that tomorrow (Monday) will probably be mild and sunny.


There seems little chance of any further snowfall before I'm back on Wednesday and so probably no change regarding ski area operations.


The most likely possible change is the opening of Ichinose Family, but there is nothing to announce there this morning.


Currently open ski areas in Shiga Kogen (subject to change):


Kumanoyu

Number 2 pair lift(s)

600m ski run

Official snow depth 20cm


Takamagahara Mammoth

Number 2 triple lift

300m ski run

Official snow depth 30cm


Yokoteyama

Official snow depth 30cm
