Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
The 2017-2018 snow season officially started here on Saturday (18th) with the Kumanoyu area of Shiga Kogen operating the Number 2 pair lift and a 600m length of ski course available to slide down.
With another 16cm of fresh snowfall being measured over the weekend helped along with snow-making machines, the official snow depth is just 20cm so it's all rather limited - but still, great to see things starting to happen. And good to hear those snow moving machines - I don't even mind if they wake me up early morning!
More snow is due tonight so hopefully I might have more to report tomorrow.
Already open!
