Morning from Shiga Kogen.
Happy Christmas.
It has started snowing now and strong gusty winds are blowing... we're at the start of a storm which will hopefully bring us a decent amount of snow over the next few days. It should be getting much colder too - relatively mild for the moment.
Wind will probably be around as well but hopefully it won't affect operations too much - I'd check with the resorts themselves though if you plan to get out in this.
All areas of Shiga Kogen except Hasuike are now at last part open.
