Posted on Friday 1st February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Clear blue skies over Shiga Kogen this morning. Sun screen needed. It was a fairly cold start but has warmed up to close to 0C now.


Some thin wispy clouds seems to have been forming in places as we get into the afternoon which is pretty much in line with what the forecast told us to expect.


Light rain or hopefully more like light snow overnight tonight perhaps but tomorrow and Sunday generally looking likely to be clear and sunny with moderate winds likely.


Looks like we are going to need to wait until mid-week to see the next potentially decent snowfall in the region.


Have a fun weekend.


Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:

Ichinose Family

Ichinose Diamond
