Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano

Snowfall at base this season 271cm

Posted on Sunday 24th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Heavy snow!


Not much earlier on as it has only really taken hold this morning, but it's really falling quite heavily now and there's a wind as well so it feels very cold outside. Storm like conditions just at the moment.


Snow should ease off tomorrow and then we are due a few days of potentially clearer skies - a great time to be here if you can! In the meantime, lots of snowfall today please let's get as much in as possible...


Take care if you are out on the slopes though, visibility is generally limited and in some places very poor - be sure you know where you are going.
