Posted on Monday 22nd December 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from Shiga Kogen.


A modest amount of snow to report this morning, though it's not enough to recover the almost spring-like conditions that the weekend served us.


Yakebitaiyama was earlier on reporting 3cm.


Wind has been a factor so it has been blowing about.


Thankfully, forecasts are indicating that Friday might be a day to celebrate snow and cold conditions.


Clearer skies currently forecast for tomorrow.

Current operations:


Most of the individual ski areas of Shiga Kogen are now part open.
