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


Happy New Year.


Not the chart-busting numbers I was hoping for this morning and nothing more than a thin new layer of snow really to report this morning. Some cloud around but generally bright and even sunny conditions this morning. Happily it is remaining quite cold.


Light snow possible today later on and snow is lined up on that forecast for the following few days as well. Might have stronger winds as well tomorrow so possible stormy conditions with temperatures also set to plummet.


Sounds good to me. (Well, apart from the wind!)


Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:

Ichinose Family

Ichinose Diamond

Yakebitaiyama
