Posted on Friday 21st February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It has been a cold start to the day here in Shiga Kogen.
Snow is falling again which is a contrast to the weather we had yesterday. Quite bright though in some parts of the area with the sun trying to show through thin clouds at times.
I was just over at Kumanoyu. Very quiet indeed. Hardly anyone about. It probably goes without saying but if you can get here weekdays rather than much busier weekends you're in for a treat. I know, not possible for many. But I'd go as far as saying worth taking the days off work to get the ski runs to yourself!
We are expecting mostly clearer weather for the weekend and into next week too, but it should keep cold for the next few days at least.
