Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


It's another of those sunny mornings.


Just a dusting of snow really since yesterday, and sunshine is making for a lovely bright start to the day.


The pattern we have seen of (some) snow overnight and fine weather in the morning is one we have seen a lot this season. And it's a pretty good pattern I feel. Seems like it might continue.


Fantastic morning to be out on the slopes.
