Posted on Saturday 23rd December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


Just a light dusting of snow early this morning but the clouds have been clearing up and currently the sun is shining down on us.


So here we are on 23rd December and from today most of Shiga Kogen is - at least part - open. We're not at 'fully' open yet, but the main skiable connections are not mostly available.


Terakoya and Higashidateyama are notable exceptions; I can clearly see that the latter is in need of more snow.
