Posted on Monday 20th December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
The sun is out. Well, in some places anyway. As you can see in the images below, the sun is out in the central area of Shiga Kogen... but it's still snowing over at Okushiga Kogen. So varied at the moment but I might expect the clearer conditions to win out today.
More lifts and courses opening up as the snow gradually piles up. All good to see.
There might be more sun and slightly less cold tomorrow, bit of snow after that and a drop down to real cold again at the weekend.
