Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
There's some news...
The lift at Yokoteyama will finish up the season tomorrow, Thursday 22nd May.
Tomorrow is also the day when the section of Route 292 re-opens allowing you to access Shiga Kogen via Kustasu in Gunma Prefecture.
As far as I can tell, the Shibutoge ski lift still seems to be scheduled to be open until Sunday (25th May).
Looking at various forecasts, it does look like we can expect a variety of weather through Sunday. It's nice this morning but rain is due later in the day, along with perhaps some thunder.
