Posted on Wednesday 22nd February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from SHiga Kogen.


And I don't think many words are necessary this morning.


The storm has passed and the weather is fine and calm this morning. The sun is out. It is cold. Everywhere looks beautiful. And there's another 14cm of snow to add.


It should be an excellent day to be here. The biggest problem is choosing where to ski or board. Oh, the problems we face.


I hope some of you can be here to enjoy it.
