Posted on Saturday 24th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Can't see much out there, poor visibility. I can see that it is snowing, though, and coming down hard at times too. And being blowing around. It should be continuing through tomorrow.
Maruike and Nishitateyama are both part open this morning, and also the Shiga Kogen Resort Gondola (which is classified as being part of the Giant area). Looks like a lift at Okushiga Kogen should also be open this morning. There may be a chance that some lifts are affected by the conditions this morning.
I don't think anyone will be complaining about getting snow though. Lots of it, please.
