Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
A bit more snow since last report but it's still thin on the ground.
Kumanoyu will announce tomorrow if they will be able to open or not on Saturday. I wouldn't be making firm plans myself... anyway I will report tomorrow.
There is a bit of snow forecast for tomorrow night but after that the weekend is currently set to be a little warmer before getting colder again early week.
The official site still has lift operation page set to 'Summer Lifts'. Deary me...
Official opening info:
'Pre-open' - 23rd November, depending on snow
Opening ceremony - 7th December at Ichinose Diamond
The section of road connecting the southern area of Shiga Kogen (from Yokoteyama onwards) with Gunma Prefecture is now closed for the season. It will be closed until 24th April 2020.
