Posted on Tuesday 23rd January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Light snow has started falling this morning with a dusting so far on the ground. It is hopefully the start of some heavy snow over the next several days. Particularly tomorrow and Thursday, strong winds might be a problem for some ski lifts.


Visibility is varied depending on where you are early this morning. Right now in Hasuike the fog is pretty thick, but over at Ichinose Family visibility is much better.
