Posted on Monday 23rd December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
I bring you good news on this Monday morning.
We have 10+cm of fresh snow on the ground, some areas reporting up to 20cm. It is not the most power-like snow quality, but that's probably good for base - let's hope this will be part of our base from now on - but great to see double digits and hopefully the start of much more to come.
Some clouds have been clearing since just an hour ago and there's an increasing amount of blue sky up above. I know what I'm going to be doing once I post this report!
More snowfall is forecast for tonight into tomorrow, sun on Wednesday and back to snow later on Thursday and Friday. I like the sound of that.
Once the snow starts piling up, we can expect more lifts to start opening quite quickly. I can't see any big changes this morning; will try to keep on top of it all.
These areas are currently part open, subject to change:
- Sun Valley
- Maruike
- Takamagahara Mammoth
- Ichinose Family
- Ichinose Diamond
- Yakebitaiyama
- Kumanoyu
- Yokoteyama
