Posted on Monday 21st February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's whiteout this morning. Tons of snow, wind and.... I'm staying inside today, and I suspect others will be too. There are quite a few lifts not opening too, due to the conditions, so if you are here and insist on venturing out in this, I highly recommend checking with official sources.


Perhaps the peak intensity of this storm has passed but snow is likely to continue through Wednesday.


Kumanoyu reporting 50cm of fresh snowfall. I just measured 45cm and I'd expect more on the mountain. Wind has been blowing it around too making it one of those days that are difficult to pin down.
