Posted on Wednesday 21st February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


Cloudy skies at the start of the day here. A bit of a fresh snow covering though not major (I noticed Kumanoyu are reporting 10cm) and it is actually snowing lightly at the moment. Visibility is generally decent though.


Forecasts seem to generally be showing the chance of some sunshine tomorrow morning. Should be a good one.


Keeping nice and cold so snow conditions keeping good.
