Posted on Thursday 25th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Some lovely light snow again this morning with cold and windy conditions and limited visibility. Some lifts might be affected but generally ski areas are open.
It's full-on winter conditions right now. Kumanoyu seems to be saying there have 40cm of fresh again this morning, and I can't vouch for that as it's less than that back here in Hasuike. Yakebitaiyama were reporting 10cm very early morning and I my measurement is 21cm. Still, a decent amount and it is still coming down hard and due for the day.
Extra care needed today as conditions are a bit wild. Things should be much calmer by the weekend --- and conditions should be pretty great!
It's quite interesting to see Mammoth reporting a snow depth of 270cm when all the others are currently hanging around 150cm. Traditionally snow depth numbers from ski areas in Shiga Kogen remain pretty static, even after heavy snow.
