Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
I bring good news. Very good news. Kumanoyu is reporting 40cm of fresh snowfall. Yakebitaiyama is reporting 50cm of fresh snowfall.
There's a lot of snow around this morning! About half a metre of it in untouched places. Good quality stuff too.
We're in one of those Twilight Zone places this morning where updated information is almost impossible to get. People will be running around doing stuff --- stuff other than updating info!
So I don't have any major news to report in terms of ski area operations. That's why there's no list today because I am guessing it would be out of date as there is a good chance that some ski areas will be opening for the first time this morning and more lifts will be moving.
But that is good news. I hope to be able to bring more details tomorrow.
