Hello and Happy Christmas!
It has been snowing, but this morning as I write this, it is getting quite bright. Thankfully, less windy than yesterday too. The snow was blowing around so it's difficult to put a number on it - one of those days when there's more/less in different places.
The easing off just now probably won't last long with more heavy snow is due tonight.
More ski areas and ski lifts in Shiga Kogen are now open.
The following ski areas are still not open (according to official site as I write this): Sun Valley, Hasuike, Higashidateyama, Tannenomori Okojo, Terakoya and Ichinose Yamanokami.
All of the other ski areas are now at least part open.
With most areas opening now, I will continue to check and update the snow depth numbers for a selection of the larger ski areas in Shiga Kogen. From time to time. (Don't expect lots of daily movement with those - traditionally they don't change much even with lots of snow).
