Hello from Shiga Kogen.


Well, as expected it's rather different this morning.


The snow is back and brought with it wind and low visibility too. Most lifts seem to be open as planned though.


Early morning Yakebitaiyama were reporting 5-10cm of fresh snow and Kumanoyu were reporting 5cm. So not huge amounts, and it is being blown around, but the roads have a white covering once again.


Light snow just now. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's going to be much more out of these clouds, easing off tomorrow.
