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

Snowfall at base this season 77cm

Posted on Friday 20th December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


10cm or so of fresh snow here in Shiga Kogen since yesterdays report and it is snowing now. Lower down in the valley it has been raining/sleet but up here, of course, snow! It's coming down quite heavily here in Maruike as I write this actually so fingers crossed we'll get another decent layer before tomorrow. As I mentioned yesterday more of Shiga Kogen plans to be open tomorrow morning and it will hopefully start to feel like proper winter season.
