Posted on Monday 1st January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Here's some happy new year news...
Yakebitaiyama is reporting a very respectable 40cm of snowfall and Kumanoyu is reporting 30cm overnight. I am hearing from a few friends around the region that there has been 30-50cm. I have measured just over 30cm. They are the kind of numbers that we like to hear. :)
We did well. It's one of the pluses of having a base that is at a high elevation!
(Actually before the snow it was raining... considerably less interesting!)
I'm leaving the snow depth list off the report this morning as it is pretty much completely out of date due to the snowfall. I would expect more lifts to be opening this morning too.
Tomorrow clearer skies are forecast with the next snow beyond today due around Wednesday into Thursday.
