Posted on Tuesday 21st February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It's a mid-winter morning with heavy snow, blowing wind, cold temps and limited to poor visibility. Not very friendly conditions out there, but this storm is bringing us a lot of snow and a complete reset.
Some lifts are on hold at the start of the day due to the weather conditions.
At 8am, Yakebitaiyama were reporting about 40cm of new snowfall at base (since last night) with over 50cm higher up. (They were reporting 40cm in the middle of the night, but it's unclear how those line up due to heavy snow since then). A lot. Kumanoyu are also reporting 40cm.
If we get sun tomorrow like forecasts show, should be amazing.
