Happy New Year!


The sun is out again this morning.


It is also a very cold start to 2020.


All good, but let's have some snow!


We were expecting some but resorts are not reporting cm this morning. Perhaps some later with clouds due to move in once again.


Most areas of Shiga Kogen are now at least part open though all areas are not all inter-connected open just yet.The only area that is classified as 'not open yet' is Giant.
